NS 85261 33342 (centred on) A Level 1 standing building appraisal was undertaken during February 2008 in order to assess the structural remains in respect to the proposed development at Poneil of an OCC mine and associated features such as topsoil storage and water treatment.
The POW camp dates to WW2 and consists of a complex of three camps; the main camp is to the W and is set in a large rectangular area. The later insertion of the M74 destroyed the other two camps and possibly compromised the easternmost corner of the central camp. The central camp currently comprises a series of brick and concrete bases which formed the base for the Nissen huts that were used to house Italian and German prisoners of war.
