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 aerial attack. The site dates from the period of intensified anti-aircraft defence across Kent, when heavy gun emplacements were established to counter the sustained German air offensive. The gunsite comprises earthwork remains consistent with the layout of similar contemporary installations, including gun positions and associated defensive structures typical of heavy anti-aircraft batteries of the period. This monument represents the widespread network of air defence infrastructure developed across south-east England during the critical years of the war.
