World War II Heavy Anti-aircraft gunsite (P2) at Sinah Common, located 570 metres south-east of Sinah Farm in Hampshire, is a Second World War defensive installation dating from the 1940s. The site represents the substantial anti-aircraft artillery infrastructure developed across southern England during the war to defend against German air raids. As a heavy anti-aircraft gunsite, it would have been equipped with large-calibre guns, typically 3.7-inch or 4.5-inch weapons, positioned to provide area defence against enemy bomber formations. The surviving remains document the critical role of anti-aircraft defences in Hampshire's wartime landscape during this period of intensive aerial warfare.
