All that can be seen of a small hutted camp situated on the S side of the A96 about 196m E of Ordens farmsteading is a small cleared area with the remains of a track leading to it on the N side of a field. A small telephone exchange also occupies part of the site.
The camp was identified from vertical air photographs (106G/Scot/UK 108, frames 3055-3056, flown 23 May 1946), and visible on the photographs are at least 35 huts, mainly of the Nissen type and one large pitched roof hut.
