The accommodation camp for the World War II military installations at Skaw are visible on evrtical air photographs (106G/Scot/Uk 97, 3107-3108, flown 18 May 1946), in an area around Inner Skaw.

At least nineteen huts are visible, most of the Nissen type, but there are two groups of four conjoined to form an E in plan.

Several hut bases survive at the site and these are depicted on the current OS 1:2500 digital scale map.
