What is recorded here

German invasion was thought likely in 1940. Anglesey faced that danger with small concrete rooms aimed at open ground. The pillbox still stands as a witness to that fear.
World War II Pillbox is shown as a fort on the public map of Ynys Môn / Isle of Anglesey. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
A defensive structure built by British forces during World War II, circa 1940–1945, to provide cover and observation against potential enemy invasion; it is remembered as part of Wales' wartime defences.
