Full description
O1, Within the large quarry is a short bank and ditch, the remains of a machine-gun range target, and trenches. On top of the large moat island are also military works. The field to the immediate W, although now permanent pasture, was ploughed, during the 1939 - 1945 war, spreading the profiles of the earthworks therein and rendering them unsurveyable.
1. Coprolite digging and military exercises have also caused damage.
