The Mnistry of Defence Ordnance Depot is situated in an area S of the River Forth and about 800m SW of Stirling Railway Station (NS79SE 162), occupying about 57.2 hectares.

The site is visible on RAF WW II oblique aerial views (No.1 CAM, AF 802-803 and AF 805-806, flown 8 May 1942), it is also visible on many subsequent RAF and other postwar sorties up to 1988.

Within the depot were several large sheds, a barrack like building and stone buildings along with Nissen and other type huts.
