Field Visit (27 March 2019)
This grass-grown concrete building platform, which formed part of the camp introduced by the Army to sustain the battery during the Second World War, is situated 2.7m NE of a later silage clamp (NH86NW 9.76) and 8m SSE of the Voluntary Aid Detachment Hut (NH86NW 9.86). It is rectangular on plan and measures 11m from NNW to SSE by 4.9m transversely. There is a threshold step at its NNW end.
The building is depicted on two RAF aerial photographs (106G/RAF/0751/6039-40) flown on 31 August 1945.
