There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank has been removed NW-E and the site is defined by a scarp. From SE-WSW the site, originally circular, has been levelled and no surface trace is visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
