A military camp has been identified from vertical air photographs (540/A/ 466, 4003-4005, flown 25 March 1950), in a field immediately NE of Quendale Farm (HU31SE 101).
The photographs show that the camp consisted of at least 31 huts, though by the date of the image most had been reduced to concrete hut bases.
It is not know for what military installation the camp supplied accommodation.
