Geocache Description:


This cache is designed to highlight little known locations with a connection to the Second World War in Northern Ireland. 

Cache is a long tubular pillbox with some appropriate camouflage. You should not need to enter the property to retrive the cache.

The Moyallan Pillbox remains standing on a crest overlooking the River Bann defensive line in the townland of Moyallan between Portadown in Co. Armagh and Gilford in Co. Down.

The Moyallan Pillbox is one of several in the area offering commanding views over the River Bann. Dating back to World War Two, the defensive position remains in excellent condition.

Protection of the River Bann was vital during the war, as it could provide access to the north to Nazi invaders.

This pillbox stands on a crest in a field opposite a petrol filling station near the roundabout linking the Gilford Road, Drumnacanvey Road and Mullahead Road.
