Heavy Anti-aircraft gunsite, 450m north east of Mere Farm, is a Second World War defensive installation in Lincolnshire. The site comprises the remains of an anti-aircraft gun emplacement constructed during the early 1940s as part of Britain's air defence network against German aerial attack. Such installations were typically equipped with heavy calibre guns positioned to engage enemy bombers at altitude, and their placement reflected strategic assessments of likely German bombing routes and targets. The physical remains survive as earthwork features characteristic of wartime military engineering, preserving evidence of the home defence infrastructure developed during the conflict.
