NT 2585 6808 An excavation was carried out February – March 2010 on part of the former Mortonhall Army Camp. The camp was built for the 16th Battalion of the Durham Light Infantry who were stationed there in July 1940, and was later used by the Royal Signal Corps, being finally dismantled around 1950. Three hut bases and two building complexes were excavated. The floor surfaces and walling appear to represent the foundations for Nissen huts and possibly concrete structures. Part of the camp road and several drainage systems were also identified.
