Summary

The Kitchener barracks consist of barrack buildings and an underground hospital. The hospital comprises a 600 bed 'field' hospital in a tunnel system, now covered by a central grassed area. Watching briefs in 2000 focussed on the two guardhouses to the north and south of the main barracks. They were dated from the early to mid 19th century and were built of red brick and yellow stock bricks. The southern building has now been demolished.
