'Motte de Ste-Christie-d'Armagnac' is an old earthwork in the department of Gers.
There is a large (aprox. 3 storeys high) mound, sited on a flat grass platform , with a further straight bank to the South (running from West to East). Like all these sort of hilltop sites round here, it was most probably occupied before the Early Middle Ages (English 'dark ages') and was possibly an oppidum /hillfort....
The church is nearby to the East, and the remmants of a medieval castle including a mud brick wall and 18th century(?) timbered (beamed) presbitary, the last two structures being both in rather a dire state....
