World War II Heavy Anti-aircraft gunsite (TS3) at Wetham Green, 460m north of Red Brick Cottage is a defensive installation constructed during the Second World War to protect against German aerial attack. The site dates from the period of intensive anti-aircraft deployment across south-east England, particularly from 1940 onwards when the threat of bombing raids was acute. Heavy anti-aircraft guns of this type were typically mounted on concrete emplacements and formed part of the wider network of air defence installations protecting the Kent region. The surviving physical remains represent an important example of Britain's wartime defensive infrastructure and its adaptation to the demands of modern aerial warfare.
