A network of ditches delineates a rectangular space in two parts covering an area of 4,600 square metres within which five buildings of post construction and a range of other domestic features occur (excavated huts, wells, pits etc.). The farming dimension of the settlement is illustrated by the discovery of a modest but significant recovered assemblage (tools, grinding material, carporemains) bearing witness notably to the practice of cereal grain farming. As with many rural settlements of northern Gaul, this site corresponds to phases characterized by a short-lived occupation, by a limited spatial extent, ditched enclosures and buildings made of cob and timber. The character of this farm is not, however, bereft of a certain form of originality, which is shown notably by a marked spatial organization and an unusual architecture.
