Three child tombs were discovered at the foot of the western gable of a building. One was buried in a large pit (3 x 2 m and 1.3 m deep) containing many glass and ceramic objects, shoes laid at the feet of the child and pieces of a suid (pig) placed beside the body. A first analysis of the ensemble allowed the burial to be dated to between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. While the configuration of this spectacular tomb is relatively common in the Roman world, the neighbouring one, of quite a different magnitude, is an exceptional case of a multiple burial in Roman Gaul. In a vast quadrangular pit (8.5 m by 3.5 m), an adult skeleton was laid on its back and accompanied by ceramic and glass vases and alimentary offerings (pork, cock, fish, shellfish, etc.). The body and the offerings were contained in wooden caskets of which only the metal nails remain. The western part of the tomb contained another individual, probably as richly adorned as the first but in greatly disturbed by an ancient event that remains to be determined. It appears that the two individuals were buried at the same time during the second half of the 2nd century. A third individual, discovered against the northern wall of the other pit and accompanied by seven ceramic vases was buried during the 4th century.
To the south and east of the site, more dispersed remains are attributed to the 2nd to 6th centuries: buildings on posts, trenches, limestone quarries, an elliptically-shaped lime-kiln with a narrow, masonry lined entrance and a large work area. A cremation burial was discovered a short distance away. A stone chest in the pit contained a 10 piece Flavian dinner service (plates and dishes from southern Gaul), a pitcher, three pots and vase in glass. The ceramic funeral urn was deposited on the chest.
