World War II Heavy Anti-aircraft gunsite (P12) at Monument Farm is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of a Second World War anti-aircraft defence installation. The site dates from the period of intensive British air defence preparations during the early 1940s, when such gun positions formed a critical component of the aerial protection network defending Hampshire and the southern coast against enemy bombing and aircraft attack. The physical remains typically include evidence of gun emplacements, command posts, and associated infrastructure characteristic of heavy anti-aircraft artillery positions of this era. This designation reflects the archaeological and historical importance of such sites in documenting the material culture and strategic planning of Britain's wartime defensive measures.
