Only the one building, a Quadrant Tower. Originally, there would have been two, but only One survives.

It is typical of a RAF WW2 bombing range quadrant tower, they were arranged so that they could between themselves, score the accuracy of the practise bombing, usually the two quadrant towers and the target itself formed a triangle. Typical layouts from a RAF WW2 design manual are below.

Probably much used by the aircraft out of Inskip (Nightjar) back in the day.

Hmm, I seem to recall seeing one over that direction a few years ago, don't know if it was this one though. I've got a photo of it somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it out.
