Another of the pill boxes that abound on this stretch of coast line which could have been a prime invasion location beach because of the proximity of the strategically important allied air bases at St Athans, Llandow and Rhoose.

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/3255892
Mass concrete cubes about 1.4 metre high in their original location on Limpert Bay Beach, West Aberthaw to defend against possible invasion in WW II. Note the "sharp" edges of the cubes face the sea and there is a gap of about 1 metre between adjacent blocks. Since the war, some of the blocks along the defensive line have been moved to provide a contiguous line (as a protection against beach shingle encroaching on farm land) near to the Aberthaw power station (which can be seen in the background to this photograph). See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1189215 for an image of the contiguous blocks.text/html2007-09-01T09:57:02+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/8218Tony Hodge51.447810 -3.264399ST1272 : Wenvoe Community Centre
