Running almost due south from the camp is a clear line in the grass, akin to a track. On this line is a series of brick manhole type chambers, and the line leads to a group of three in-line brick structures on the north side of the main track, which appear to have been part of a water system of some sort. The north one is full of water. Each is about 8x5 metres and are divided internally by a brick wall, they are about 1 metre high.
