Spigot Mortar Emplacement, Farnham Park is a Second World War defensive structure located in Surrey, England. The emplacement was constructed to mount a spigot mortar, a simple but effective infantry support weapon widely deployed across Britain during the latter stages of the war as part of anti-invasion defences. The structure represents the practical military engineering of the Home Defence period and survives as physical evidence of the preparations made to resist a potential German invasion. Such emplacements were typically sited to provide mutual support with other defensive positions within wider defensive lines and fieldworks.
