This building, which formed part of the camp introduced by the Army to sustain the battery during the Second World War, is situated about 4m ENE of the NAAFI Staff Hut (NH86NW 9.90) and immediately SSE of the track leading from the North Sutor Battery Site No.1 to Site No.2 (NH86NW 9.48). It is rectangular on plan and measures about 18.5m from ENE to WSW by 11.3m transversely within grass-grown brick walls 0.23m thick and up to 0.4m high. There is a corridor 1.75m wide running the length of the building on the SSE and the remains of an ablutions block with a concrete floor is attached to its NNE corner.

The building is annotated ‘NAAFI’ (i.e. Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes) on an undated sketch map entitled ‘Layout of Fort North Sutor’ within the Fort Record Book held in The National Archives at Kew (WO192/248). It is also depicted on two RAF aerial photographs (106G/RAF/0751/6039-40) flown on 31 August 1945
