Timeline

Origin and history

The Bigotais land enclosure, located in Campel, Brittany, is a monument whose exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources. This type of structure, often linked to ancient occupations, suggests a defensive or community function, typical of the protohistoric or medieval installations of the region. The earth enclosures, frequent in Brittany, were generally used to protect habitats or collective spaces.

Their presence reflects the social organization and defence needs of local people throughout the centuries. In Campel, as elsewhere in Brittany, these vestiges illustrate the ancient history and lifestyles of the communities that shaped this territory.
