Some sophisticated dugouts, such as the Vampire dugout, were placed more than 10 metres (33 ft) underground, lined with concrete, wood and steel to withstand the shock of artillery, accessed via a set of wooden stairs. About 180 dugout sites have been located in the Ypres Salient and in the 1990s some of them were entered, at least in part. [12]

At the time they were being used, it is likely that the dugouts of Bercy measured between 6 and 8 meters (20 and 26 feet) in length and 80 to 100 centimeters (31 to 39 inches) (or possibly even 120 centimeters (47 inches)) in width. [1] The dugouts are called monoxyl because they are hollowed out from a single tree trunk (oak, for all 10 dugouts).
