The oppidum is located on the hill of Castellas, overlooking at 349 meters of altitude the left bank of the Gapeau. We are in the presence of the ruins of a fortification testifying to a Ligurian or pre-Roman settlement. There is no marked path leading to the site.
The presence of archaic grey ceramics and Etruscan amphorae attest to the fact that the site was occupied from the 5th century BC. The site shows the ruins of a fortification. It covers more than five hectares, which makes it one of the largest in Provence. The surrounding wall must have had about fifteen towers and two monumental entrances.
