Visited 2009. A 0.5 metre high concrete post for a wire fence, with two drilled holes for wire fence supports. There are no other nearby posts, although the post appears to be in situ. The post is close to Monument 41708, and may be part of a boundary around this feature.
Average condition. Historically demolished, but currently stable. Some military vehicle driver training in the area but feature is easily visible. Other details: Site 4.
