The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce tumulus faisait partie d'un ensemble de quatre tumulus alignés dans un axe nord-est/sud-ouest. Ces monuments sont visibles à longue distance et n'ont pas fait l'objet de fouilles. Un chemin traverse le monument créant une véritable coupe dans sa largeur. De nombreux débris de branchages recouvrent le tumulus et la pierre sèche mise au jour par le chemin se délite progressivement.

History
This tumulus was part of a group of four tumuli aligned on a north-east/south-west axis. These monuments are visible from a great distance and have not been subject to excavation. A path crosses the monument creating a genuine section through its width. Numerous debris of branches cover the tumulus and the dry stone exposed by the path is gradually deteriorating.
