Cold War Heavy Anti-aircraft gun site, 330m and 220m north east of Halls Green Farm, is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of defensive fortifications erected during the Cold War period, likely in the 1950s. The site represents the investment made by British authorities in air defence infrastructure across Essex during the early Cold War years, when the county's proximity to continental Europe and vulnerable industrial and urban centres made it a priority for anti-aircraft protection. The surviving physical remains include earthworks and structural foundations characteristic of heavy anti-aircraft gun emplacements of the period, positioned to command approaches across the surrounding landscape. This monument provides archaeological evidence of the civil and military preparations undertaken by Britain during the height of Cold War tensions.
