Caer danddaearol Pontarddulais Pill Box

Dyma gaer danddaearol (FW3/22) a leolir ar ben bryn uwchben Ffarm Talfan Fach. Yr enw lleol ar y bryn yw y Graig. Hanner milltir i ffwrdd ceir caer danddaearol arall gerllaw Ffarm Tynybonau. Adeiladwyd miloedd o'r caerau danddaearol hyn ledled Prydain yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd i rwystro unrhyw oresgyniad posibl.

A WWII pillbox (Type FW3/22) located on the hill above Talfan Fach Farm. The local name of the hill is Y Graig (The Hill!) There is another pillbox located half a mile away near Tynybonau Farm. Thousands of these pillboxes were built throughout Britain in 1940 in an attempt to thwart any possible invasion.
