In an gap between existing houses a series of building terraces can be seen on vertical aerial photography (Next Perspective 25cm Orthorectified air photography) which may be the remains of part of a construction camp associated with the building of the reservoir. It is reported that German PoWs were used as construction workers.
It is likely that the camp site occupied a much larger site, probably encompassing the later houses.
