The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le gisement conserve l'existence d'un habitat continu du chalcolithique (2300-1800 a-c) au début du second âge du fer (450-300 a-c). Une série de photographies aériennes a permis de distinguer l'emplacement d'un ancien fossé et d'un talus donnant à ce site un caractère défensif. Les structures sont caractéristiques : trous de piliers, fragments de reliefs culinaires, poteries et céramiques.

History
The deposit preserves evidence of continuous habitation from the Chalcolithic (2300-1800 BC) to the beginning of the second Iron Age (450-300 BC). A series of aerial photographs has made it possible to distinguish the location of an old ditch and a bank giving this site a defensive character. The structures are characteristic: post holes, fragments of culinary remains, pottery and ceramics.
