The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Les vestiges conservent une enceinte dont les fondations sont en moëllons ordinaires reliés au mortier, des aqueducs qui paraissent postérieurs aux murs et peut-être des habitations. L'un des aqueducs semble mener à un réservoir ou un bassin. Un grand nombre de squelettes ont été découverts sur le site, la tête à l'ouest et le visage tourné vers l'est, les bras croisés sur la poitrine. Divers objets ont également été trouvés (morceaux de poteries, haches, fragments de tuiles, lampes...).

History
The remains preserve an enclosure of which the foundations are in ordinary rubble stone bonded with mortar, aqueducts which appear to be later than the walls and possibly dwellings. One of the aqueducts appears to lead to a reservoir or basin. A large number of skeletons were discovered on the site, with the head to the west and the face turned towards the east, the arms crossed on the chest. Various objects were also found (fragments of pottery, axes, roof tile fragments, lamps...).
