Information from RCAHMS (DE), February 2005
The prisoner-of-war camp is visible on large scale (1:5000) vertical air photographs (106G/UK 1385, 6321-6323, flown 9 April 1946), which shows that at that date at least thirty-seven huts still stood within the square compound and about thirty-three outside the fenced enclosure. A sports field and sewage works are also visible on the N side of the prison compound.
