To determine this location, which I believe to be accurate to within a few meters, I had reference to a 19th-century map and associated description in Babelon, a GIS map reflecting results of a 2005 resistivity survey published by Thierry, and aerial/satellite imagery in Google Earth. Although many roads/paths shown on the Babelon map are no longer visible today, a key intersection just south of the former hamlet of Villeret survives (minus a northeastward curved path visible only via crop marks). This intersection permits alignment of the Babelon map, Thierry map, and Google Earth.
