Camp de César (Ossun)
Camp de César (Ossun) submitted by Nick- : Camp de César (Ossun). South Eastern facing inner bank. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Hillfort in Midi:Hautes-Pyrénées. 1 km NW from the centre of Ossun. The hillfort is on private property, with a padlocked gate,approached by a lane, with new houses being built nearby (some seemingly on the fort itself).

There was no "keep out" sign or mad dogs, and the gate was easy to climb through, so a quick hurried reconnaissance was carried out. On part of the hillfort is an old farm ,with a derelict house, and a barn full of old caravans.

A photo is included of one of the south facing inner banks, and one taken 1.5kms from the west. Another visit is needed ,with a different angle of approach, so as to possibly take some better photos.
