Westhawk Farm is a Romano-British roadside settlement and World War II pillbox situated in Kent, England. The Romano-British element represents a modest settlement that developed alongside the road network serving the region during the imperial occupation, typical of the numerous small-scale commercial and residential sites that characterised the transport infrastructure of Roman Britain. The pillbox, a small concrete defensive structure, was constructed during the Second World War as part of Britain's anti-invasion defences, reflecting the strategic significance of the Kentish landscape during the 1940-41 period of heightened invasion threat. The juxtaposition of these two structures on the same site illustrates the long continuity of human activity and land use at this location across nearly two millennia.
