The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Des tessons datant du bronze final ont été découverts sur le site, sans pour autant être la preuve d'une occupation dès cette période. Le matériel est très important pour les 1er, 2e et 3e siècles, avec sans doute une réoccupation du site à l'époque médiévale. Pour l'époque gallo-romaine, les installations hydrauliques complexes favoriseraient l'hypothèse d'un établissement industriel. Mais l'hypothèse d'une petite agglomération n'est pas à exclure.

History
Pottery sherds dating from the Late Bronze Age were discovered on the site, though this is not proof of occupation from this period. The material is very significant for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd centuries, with no doubt a reoccupation of the site in the medieval period. For the Gallo-Roman period, complex hydraulic installations would favour the hypothesis of an industrial establishment. But the hypothesis of a small agglomeration cannot be excluded.
