A complex of trackways, structures and pale cropmarks is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The structures are of Nissen hut type with curved roofs, with the locations of numerous former probable temporary structures visible as 4 metre square low flat pale areas, either cropmarks or hut bases, along narrow trackways. Additional areas of less well-defined pale cropmarks are visible and likely to have been further tented or storage areas. No traces of the camp are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1964.
