Another defended pass in Snowdonia this one at Pont Pen-Y-Benglog.The roads into it both from he north and east were defended.
From the north its starts with a now hardly recognisable loopholed wall with next in line a pillbox in the valley behind it and 3 infantry
positions set on the cliffs above the road.And just over the bridge a Spigot mortar.

The eastern pass has another 2 spigot mortars along with infantry post and anti tank blocks.Theres also fixings in the cliff by the road that may
have been part of the roadblock.
