Within a light area of tree growth on the N side of the airfield, are the remains of three buildings with to the NE an embankment of demolition rubble mostly comprised of brick but also including stone, oil drums, car bodies and sections of aeroplane.

The buildings are constructed of brick and concrete, one of which only survives as a concrete floor, and internally are split, in one example, into three rooms. The building at c.NO 1510 2847 has on the SW facing side wall, graffiti scratched into the render reading 'E Company Home Guard 1940-43'.
