A stone pillar (NE corner) and three trees mark the four corners of the Roman fort, field paths mark the surrounding wall. The fort itself or ruins are not visible, as the area is still used for agriculture. The inscription on the stone pillar says - as far as I could decipher it - this: Here lay the Roman fort Iciniacum built at the beginning of the 2nd century AD destroyed by the Alemanni in the middle of the 3rd century
