History:
"A small Neolithic burial ground, remains of pottery and animal bones were discovered here in the early 20th century. Deer, badgers, cats and oxen must have served as meals to our distant ancestors. But the most surprising thing is that marmot bones have also been identified.
The particularity of this place is to offer one of the most beautiful perspectives on the village of Treffort, the mount Grillerin, the crest of Nivigne and the mythical triplet of Revermont: Montfort, Mont Châtel and Mont Myon.
