The marker is near the western end of the Tower Wharf.
Dzisiaj fosa jest także punktem początkowym wycieczek ze strażnikami Yeoman Warders, które są szczególnie popularne wśród zwiedzających Tower.
Стражники-йомены были королевскими телохранителями на протяжении 500 лет. Они и сейчас живут в Тауэре со своими семьями.
В прошлом жители Тауэра использовали опустошенный ров в качестве лужайки для игры в шары, теннисного корта и игровой площадки.
Сегодня ров является начальной точкой экскурсионного маршрута, проводимого стражниками-йоменами, который весьма популярен среди посетителей Тауэра.
500 বছরের চেয়ে বেশি সময় ধরে ইওম্যান ওয়ার্ডারা, রয়াল বডিগার্ডের অংশ ছিলেন। তারা তাদের পরিবার সহ টাওয়ারে থাকেন।
বিগত সময়ে, বাসিন্দারা এই পরিখাটিকে একটি বোলিং গ্রীন, টেনিস কোর্ট এবং খেলার মাঠ হিসাবে ব্যবহার করতেন।
আজ, পরিখাটি হল ইওম্যান ওয়ার্ডদের টুরের একটি স্টার্টিং পয়েন্ট, যেটা টাওয়ারে আসা ভিজিটারদের মাঝে ভীষণ জনপ্রিয়।
