Description

The fortification is in a swamp valley near the Kermain farm. It is made up of a trunconcier clod measuring 3 meters in height and 40 meters wide, surrounded by ditches filled with water, powered by a disturbance of the stream. The top of the mound keeps leftovers of a circular structure in cut stone about 7 meters in diameter. This clod, probably of late creation, certainly had a more residential than military function.
