Hiking
The "Poype" of St Cyr is quite well preserved, 9 m high for a diameter of about 40 m, it was surrounded by partly filled ditches today and was probably surmounted by a summary construction and must have had a modest palisade. The farmyard seems to have extended over an area of several thousand square meters. In 1970, the archaeological layer yielded various fragments of Roman tiles, pottery, small pieces of iron. These remains attest to an occupation between the 11th and 13th centuries.
