Summary

Two possible Second World War huts and a hut platform can be seen on aerial photographs. The central structure is removed by 1946 with the southern structure and the northern hut platform removed by the 1950s, suggesting they may have been temporary structures used during the Second World War. These features are in close proximity to a pillbox (NHER 31605) and lay between two large areas of Second World War hut platforms (NHER 62614 and NHER 62618).
