The accommodation camp for Crail Airfield is situated to the N of Kirklands farmsteading. occupying about half a hectare of land where many of the huts, buildings and structures survive. Around 57 huts in varying stages of decay are spread between Kirklands and Wormistone farmsteadings. Many are in use for agricultural purposes and several of the roads between the huts have been used to dump earth. The perimeter fence is still in situ and entrance gates still in place.
The camp is visible on RAF vertcial air photographs (106G/Scot/UK 5, 4081-4082, flown 14 April 1946) and it is also visible on a RAF WW II vertcial air photograph (NLA 14, 997, flown 19 June 1941).
