This site was occupied from the 6th century BCE (Iron Age) to the 1st century CE. It is referred to as an "oppidum" due to its fortified hilltop location. It served as a central hub for ancient populations, and extensive archaeological excavations have revealed remnants of fortifications, dwellings, workshops, and other structures, as well as valuable artifacts. The Oppidum of Ensérune is of significant historical and archaeological importance, providing a fascinating glimpse into life in the region through the ages.
