Enceinte médiévale de Castets, Medieval fortification near Bougue, France
The medieval enclosure of Castets stands on a plateau overlooking the confluence of the Ludon and Midou rivers with a 30-meter elevation difference.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1991 and 1992 revealed multiple occupations from prehistoric times through the medieval period, featuring four castle mounds.
The site marks the boundary between two distinct regions: the Landes de Roquefort to the north and the Marsan territory to the south.
The fortification complex, protected as a historical monument since September 11, 1997, features marked trails and information panels for visitors.
The site contains traces of an unfinished bastide ordered by King Edward I of England in 1275, with visible remnants of medieval construction plans.
