The World War II Heavy Anti-aircraft Gunsite at Burnt Farm Camp is a surviving Second World War defensive installation located in Hertfordshire, England. Dating from the period of active hostilities between 1939 and 1945, the site represents the substantial anti-aircraft defences constructed across southern England to protect against German air attacks during the war. The gunsite would have been equipped with heavy anti-aircraft artillery, typically 3.7-inch or 4.5-inch guns mounted on concrete bases, along with associated command posts, ammunition stores, and personnel shelters characteristic of such installations. The remains preserve important evidence of Britain's air defence infrastructure during the Second World War and the strategic measures undertaken to counter sustained aerial bombardment.
