Nothing survives of a small group of huts in a field on the E side of the A961 road between a house annotated Lynburn and Fernbank.
The huts are visible on WW II RAF vertical air photographs (WL/10, 1.34-1.35, flown 7 July 1942) as a group of eight, two of them Nissen type. A further group of three are visible about 100m SE of the site, an area now occupied by a house annotated 'Glenview'.
Visited by RCAHMS (DE), May 1996
The house 'Lynburn' is identified by local sources as being use by the 'Toc H' organisation.
