The hutted camp is visible on vertical air photographs taken in 1946 (106G/Scot/UK 104, 4180-4182, flown 19 May 1946), in an area immediately N of the walled garden of the Rodel Hotel (NG08SW 11).
At least sixteen mainly Nissen type huts are visible, including a group of four conjoined huts forming a t-shape in plan and what is possibly an electricity generating house at NG 04672 83100. Only one hut base can be seen on the photographs.
The hut bases are depicted on the current OS 1:2500 scale digital map.
