Full Description

Five barracks of 20th century date were seen as structures in RAF/HLA/564 V 6013 01-JUN-1942. The huts were described as 'Mens Quarters' on a plan of RAF Manston dated 7 April 1930 (RAF Museum, Hendon, reference MFC/78/24/0883).

By the time of a mid-20th century plan (RAF Museum, Hendon, reference X004/2380) four of the huts were in similar use with the addition of latrines. The fifth hut was labelled 'RAF Rifle Range'.

They were recorded as demolished structures in Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 07-APR-2021. They were mapped as part of the Historic England Isle of Thanet project in 2024. (1-2)
