A memorial standing near the sunken lane's junction with New Beaumont Road commemorates not the 1 July attack, but 1/8th Battalion The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, who helped take the village on 13 November 1916.
The edges of the sunken lane are now lined by bushes. On its eastern edge warning tapes mark the position of a bunker which collapsed during ploughing in about 1999.
The German trenches ran along the edge of the trees across the field to the east: a small cemetery between the sunken lane and the German position marks the spot in no man's land where many of the attackers were killed.
