Summary
edit
| Description |
English: WW2 pillbox overlooking the River Gavenny View looks south-westwards. This is a variant pillbox in a commanding position near the road bridge carrying the B4315 over the river Gavenny near Abergavenny. The embrasures indicate it was designed to repel an attacking force from the north. Presumably this pillbox formed part of the 'Usk Stopline' defences constructed in 1940-41 (the river Usk flows through Abergavenny some 1.5 miles to the south). |
