In the center a track has levelled the monument. To the noth west the earthworks fade out down hill. The south eastern end has been destroyed by chalk quarrying.
More information : (TQ 08341265 - TQ 08461259) Earthwork 450 ft long on Chantry Hill, the eastern end of the ditch and bank coming down to and terminating at the side of a terrace way. Curwen refers to this as a univallate spur-dyke. (1-2) A spur dyke, 120.0m in length, the ends terminating upon the very steep slopes of dry coombes, the eastern end probably foreshortened by chalk quarrying, the pits long disused and now grassed over. The work comprises a bank with ditch on the uphill side. It has been cut through towards the W end by an old trackway, but is otherwise in fairly good condition. There is no evidence to associate the spur dyke with the terrace way which lies at some distance below and beyond its eastern termination. Divorced Survey at 1:2500. (3)
