A group of at least six buildings situated to the S of the main access track into the Radar Station. All would appear to built of brick and concrete with steel roof trusses. One building, possibly for motor transport as there is a widened entrance in the N gable end, has a short tower for the water tank and there are two others with water towers immediately to S and SE. The other buildings are various single storey huts, some unroofed, which were not entered on the date of visitdue to their advanced state of dereliction, . All would appear to have or had asbestos roofs.

The buildings are almost certainly connected with the domestic site activity for personnel at the radar station.

These buildings formerly stood immediately N of the fence line which has now been removed.
