Dhp No.229 is a Second World War pillbox located in Craigavon, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The structure dates from the period of intensive coastal and strategic defence preparations undertaken by British forces during 1940 and 1941, when invasion by Nazi Germany was considered a serious threat. Like other pillboxes constructed across the United Kingdom during this period, it formed part of a wider network of anti-tank and anti-personnel defensive positions designed to impede potential enemy advancement. The specific architectural form and construction details of this example reflect standard military engineering practices of the early 1940s Home Defence programme.
