Description:Judging but the configuration of the huts this could show the rear of No. 4 Battalion Lines taken from the side of the Ordnance Depot. It is a good example of the slope of the land and the differing height of the concrete pillar supports to keep the huts level. There are numerous examples of these around Rugeley Camp, even when hidden by forest planting, closer inspection reveals many, some of which have not been disturbed since the day the Huts were removed. There are however many exposed open ma holes that serviced the waste water sewerage system in the area and care needs to be taken.
