World War II Heavy Anti-aircraft gunsite at Burnt Farm Camp is a defensive installation constructed during the Second World War to provide air defence for the surrounding area of Hertfordshire. The site dates from the early 1940s and comprises the physical remains of gun emplacements and associated structures typical of heavy anti-aircraft defence positions established across Britain during the conflict. Such installations were essential components of the civilian and military air defence network, protecting against German aerial attack during the sustained bombing campaigns of the war years. The surviving earthworks and structural elements at Burnt Farm Camp represent the material legacy of Britain's home defence infrastructure during this critical period.
