A prisoner-of-war camp was situated at the western end of Amisfield Park, the centre being about 250m NE of the West Lodge. The camp housed German prisoners-of-war between c.1942-1945. The perimeter fence and accommodation huts are visible on post-war vertical air phtographs (RAF 106G/UK 1319, 5196-7, flown 28 March 1946). The accommodation for the guards and staff (also visible on air photographs) was situated between the gate of camp (NT c.5249 7393) and the West Lodge (NT 5233 7387).
