Archaeology Notes

HU47SW 8.08 41056 73065

Situated about 103m S of the Officers' Mess (HU47SW 8.04) is what was formerly the officers' ablutions hut. Now unroofed and the only standing building in the area.

It has at least four compartments and retains smaller divisions within. The building lies amongst many concrete hut bases.

About 37m to the S is the brick built remains of a small block of latrines.

Visited by RCAHMS (DE), 7 October 1998
