NH87NW 21.08 Centred NH 8405 7518
A small dispersal area is situated on the SW corner, beyond a large ditch which surrounds the whole airfield. Four hangars were located in this area, only one of which survives in use as a barn. The bases and surrounding blast banks of the other three have been partly removed. A small building which was located at NH 8407 7516 has also been removed, though the base and some bricks could be seen in rank grass next to the dispersal track. The hangar is a Mainhill type 'S' which were employed widely by the Navy.
