A group of huts and other buildings comprising a former Prisoner-of-War work camp. The huts and buildings are bounded by a sandstone rubble wall and on the N by the stone wall which bounds the farmhouse garden. The buildings are all derelict, dilapidated and overgrown, and some have been demolished many years ago. The main entrance to the site lies in its NW corner.

The camp was used to house Italian prisoners-of-war, apprently assigned to undertake agricultural work in the area.
