Timeline

Origin and history

The southern menhir of Pontusval is a megalithic monument located in the commune of Plounéour-Trez, Finistère (Britain). This menhir, typical of neolithic constructions, bears witness to the cultural and religious practices of prehistoric societies in the region. Its implantation in the local landscape reflects the symbolic and perhaps astronomical or funeral importance of these stones erected for the communities of the time.

Ranked a Historic Monument by the list of 1889, this menhir is part of the French protected heritage. Its location, although documented (approximate address: 242 A Menonion), remains subject to geographical accuracy deemed to be satisfactory a priori (note 6/10). Like many Breton megaliths, it illustrates the density of the region's prehistoric heritage, marked by an ancient human occupation and lasting architectural traditions.

No additional information on its specific use or discovery context is available from the sources consulted.
