Protohistoric Fortification (Case D 153): Registration by Order of 22 March 1983
Origin and history
The Protohistoric Fortification of Chéraut is an archaeological vestige built in the Protohistory. Located in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, this monument bears witness to the techniques of defense and habitation of ancient populations in this region. Its location, near the Mügülarrenborda road, suggests a strategic position, probably linked to the surveillance or control of the territory.
Filed by order of 22 March 1983, this site is now protected and belongs to the commune of Chéraut. Although the available sources do not specify its exact use, protohistoric fortifications were generally associated with defensive, social or symbolic functions for local communities. Their presence often reflects a collective organization and a strong social hierarchy.
Current data indicate an approximate location, with an accuracy considered "passible" (note 5/10). No information is provided on the accessibility of the site, its openness to the public or any associated services. Subsequent research could refine understanding of its role in regional history.
