Pyro stores. The bomb stores and incendiary bomb store have a small rendered brick structure built to one side of the traverse earthworks. Although they are of unknown function, they look like pyro stores.
NB: The bomb stores site here is interesting becaume most of the earth traverse blast walls surrounding both incendiary and bomb storage areas are still in situ, while at many other airfields they have been removed.
