Two rectangular hoppers huts, shown on the second edition Ordnance Survey map (1897-1900), located along the eastern corner of the field boundary. There is one smaller square building, a probable toilet block between the two.
On the third edition Ordnance Survey map a third rectangular building is shown, in the opposite field.
The 1940s aerial photography survey shows the southern structure with an additional building the other buildings have been demolished. No structures are still presant on the 1990 aerial survey.
