The roundabout, along with its more-connected sisters, can be seen at the 3:16 mark in the video below (which is actually how I first found it).
Visit date: Google Maps: march 14, 2014
Status at last visit: Roundabout with four connecting road, only two of which lead anywhere.
Current status: unknown. But Google Street view (feb 2014) shows that there is nearby construction activity, meaning a subdivision will probably be built soon.
