Tumulus to be found in the Bois de la Taillette in Poitou:Charente (16)

Reading a detailed map , looking for mégalithes in north Charente ; I found a symbol in a woodland named "Bois de La TAILLETTE" near the village of MARCILLAC-LANVILLE .
I went there and after walking a few times in this wood and I found this tumulus .
It is a little mound about 8 m long and 2 m in height covered by ivy ; apparently it had not been examined . It is not really biased because almost circular .
2 kms ito the south there is a beautifull Romanesque Abbey dedicated to St Maur in the village of Lanville.
