A settlement site of the Copper Age Fontbouisse culture in Herault, southern France, dated to the early 2nd millennium bc (mid-3rd millennium bc). The settlement was enclosed by a dry-stone wall, set with circular towers at regular intervals. It was once interpreted as a colony from the Aegean (along with others in Iberia, such as Los Millares and Vila Nova de SAo Pedro) but this view is not widely held today.
