Remains of a Second World War military camp associated with the nearby gun battery and boom defence at An Fhaighear Mhoir. Survives as concrete hut bases in two distinct groupings either side of the Uidh Chro, and connected by a made path and bridge which appears to still be in situ. A small number of the eastern group have been removed, with others now being used as caravan stances and to support buildings.
