Aerial photography inconclusive here, but the remains described by the Royal Commission may exist on this site.
Richards, A. F., 2023, Note on hut locations (Personal Comment). SDV270015.
Uncertain location; grid reference quoted by Royal Commission notes the feature may be an annexe to Hut G, but the original grid reference given for G is not close to that given for this 'hut'. This site seems a potential candidate for G and H but if site visits disprove this the polygons will need adjusting.
