A series of World War II ammunition storage huts forming the bomb store for the flying boat base on Kerrera is situated at the N end of the island.
The earth banked enclosures for the huts are visible on two vertical air photograph sorties (CPE/Scot/UK 247, 4014-4016, flown 31 July 1947 and CPE/Scot/UK 286, 4012-4013, flown 28 August 1947), along eacjh side of a track leading N from the ramp and repair sheds (now a boat yard), most of which are also depicted on the current OS 1:2500 scale map.. The concrete bases for other smaller buildings and structures are also visible on the air photographs.
