Origin and history
It is a listed historical monument, located in the Seine-et-Marne department (77), in the Île-de-France region. This site, dated from antiquity, is distinguished by its island establishment, suggesting a role both defensive and religious for the local populations of the period. The remains, although partially documented, indicate an occupation related to river trade and the cultural practices of Gallic or Gallic-Roman societies.
The site was officially recognized and protected by a listing order under the Historic Monuments on 6 August 1970, specifically covering cadastral parcels A 417 and 418. Today, the monument is owned by a private company, which limits its accessibility to the public. The available data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, point to an approximate location (estimated at 5/10), centred around the so-called La Noue de Villenauxe.
No detailed information is provided on architectural structures or artifacts discovered on site. However, the designation of the "poppidum" usually evokes a fortified place serving as a refuge or political centre, while the term "sanctuaries" suggests the presence of a sacred space, perhaps dedicated to local deities or to syncretic cults under Roman influence. These elements reflect the territorial and spiritual organization of ancient communities in Île-de-France.
