An artificial mound, marked as a 'tumulus' on the IGN map.
It may possibly be a much eroded (on the sides) medieval castle mound with a flat area on top approximately 25 x 15 metres. The mound is about 'two and a half storeys high', sorry for the vagueness. There are rough brambly earthen stairs with a wooden railing providing access to the top.
The mound seems to be composed 100% of earth. Geologically this area is not known for any rocky outcrops.
Easy access to this site through vines, which are those used to make the 'St. Mont' wine. St-Go has a cave (winery) nearby.
Below this mound in the valley with the river Midour, there is supposed to be a small Romanesque bridge, which I could not find however. It is probably overgrown.
