Base of Nissen hut
This concrete base, like one facing it on the other side of the road (NS2689 : Base of Nissen hut), was the site of a Nissen hut during the Second World War. It was associated with an anti-aircraft battery and accommodation camp; click on the end-note title for views of these, and see the link just cited for further information.

The end-note also contains a link to a page at Canmore; on that page is an old aerial photograph, which can be enlarged by clicking on it. The two Nissen huts can be seen flanking the road in the left-hand side of that image. The base in the present photograph corresponds to the smaller of the two huts.
