Stone Creek Heavy Anti-aircraft gunsite is a World War II defensive installation located at Sunk Island Clough in Yorkshire. The site comprises the physical remains of anti-aircraft gun positions constructed during the Second World War to protect against aerial attack, representing the civil defence infrastructure that characterised the home front during 1939–1945. Such heavy anti-aircraft gunsites were typically equipped with large-calibre guns mounted on concrete platforms and supported by associated buildings for ammunition storage, personnel shelter, and fire control operations. The site survives as a scheduled ancient monument, preserving evidence of the military preparations and defensive measures undertaken across northern England during the war years.
