Not much evidence to be seen of this hillfort/oppidum in Hautes-Pyrénées.
The views from the site are incredible, or would have been had it not been hazy....
There may be earthworks on the South West side , but the slopes are covered with woodland.......
No mention of the site, on the village 'tourist' notice board....
