Origin and history

The tumuli of Kergloff are ancient burials located in the territory of the commune of Kergloff, Brittany. These funeral structures, characteristic of protohistoric periods, show collective or individual burial practices, although their exact chronology is not specified in the available sources. Brittany, rich in archaeological remains, is home to many tumuli usually dating from the Bronze Age or Iron Age.

These monuments, often linked to local elites or organized communities, served to honour the deceased and mark the landscape. Their presence in Kergloff is part of this regional context, where people exploited natural resources and developed elaborate funeral rites.
