Situated at the N end of the airfield immediately S of Clochkeil farmsteading within a separate wire fenced enclosure is a group of brick built accommodation blocks and huts. Most are flat roofed and now all derelict. Built in 1970's for United States service personnel. In total about 16 buildings. The individual huts are of pitched roofed type. Also found within the enclosure are the officer's mess and a hospital with ambulanec bay.
Within this enclosure is the original squash court built to wartime design, which would have formerly stood in the main administrative area (NR62SE 28.05).
