DHP No. 86 is a Second World War heavy anti-aircraft battery located at Larne in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The site dates from the period of the Second World War when such defensive installations were established throughout Northern Ireland to protect against aerial attack. Heavy anti-aircraft batteries of this type were equipped to engage enemy aircraft at significant altitude and formed part of the broader air defence network maintained by British forces during the conflict. The battery represents the material infrastructure of wartime civil and military defence in Northern Ireland during 1939 to 1945.
