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.
