Morfa Bychan WW2 fortifications

Fort

What is recorded here

German invasion would have come through the small harbour at Morfa Bychan, so the fortifications rose in 1940 to block that gap. Concrete and steel now hold the shape of that fear, waiting for a ship that never came. The small harbour became a weapon against imagination itself, proving that even modest places can carry the weight of world war.
Morfa Bychan WW2 fortifications is shown as a fort on the public map of Sir Gaerfyrddin / Carmarthenshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
