Possible structures of this camp are extant here on the Ordnance Survey 2016 MasterMap. There appears, however, to be some discrepancy in accuracy of features mapped during this survey with those that are shown on this map. This error is likely due to the scale of base map used during the NMP rectification process. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photographs is not known.
