Monument record ERL 240 - Second World War Prisoner of War camp 85 Victoria, Eriswell 2 Site Extension Scheme, A1065 (EVAL) OAE

Previous evaluation found that although the majority of WWII Prisoner of War Camp 85 Victoria had been demolished, foundation trenches and postholes survived across the development area. Excavation was therefore undertaken to further analyse the remains of the Camp. The excavation recorded the foundations and associated services of several structures comprising possible living huts, a shower/drying room and kitchen. An inner perimeter fence separating the prisoners' and the guards' compounds was also located (S1).
