Origin and history

The four tumulus of Kérébars, located in Guilers in Finistère (British), are funerary monuments dating from the Bronze Age. These structures, typical of this period, probably served as collective burials or territorial markers for local communities. Their presence illustrates the importance of funeral rites and social organization among the populations of the period, often linked to agro-pastoral activities and a sedentary lifestyle.

Classified as a Historical Monument by decree of 6 June 1966, these tumulus are now protected as an archaeological heritage. Their location, specified as "satisfactory" (note 7/10), is indicated at the approximate address of 350 Rue du Tumulus in Guilers. Although the property belongs to a private company, their registration status underlines their historical and cultural value to the Breton region.

No information is available on their accessibility to the public or their current use (visits, rentals, etc.).
