Two World War II air traffic control buildings are a pair of brick-built structures located 620 metres west and 560 metres west-south-west of Whitewall Corner on the site of the former RAF Culmhead airfield near Trickey Warren in Devon. These buildings date from the Second World War period and represent the operational infrastructure of the airfield, which served as a Royal Air Force station during the conflict. Constructed in brick, they exemplify the functional architectural style typical of wartime air traffic control facilities, designed to house the essential communications and navigation equipment required to direct aircraft operations. The structures survive as evidence of the airfield's strategic importance during the war years and contribute to the archaeological record of this once-active military installation in Devon.
