Only a few concrete hut bases survive of the accommodation camp for crew and technical staff on both sides of the short track leading WNW from the B 9047 road.
Most of the camp was situated on the N side of the track and 1948 vertical air photographs show that (LEU/UK 4, 7029-7030, 17 April 1948) the camp had ten huts, probably of wood construction on the N side of the track with a further four (only visible as hut bases on the photographs) on the S side.
