The concrete bases of the huts for this camp are situated along a wall at the edge of a field to the E of the Princess Margaret Rose Hospital at Mortonhall. Many of the hut bases are broken

The huts were originally built for the Durham Light Infantry c.1940, and were subsequently re-used as a prisoner-of-war camp. In the immediate post-war period the camp became a displaced persons centre.
