Origin and history

It is a historical monument whose preserved portion extends over multiple parcels, mainly around the sites Le Châtelier, La Rochette and Les Trois Journales. These lands, divided between sections A 447 and 638, were officially classified and registered by ministerial decree of 7 September 1978. The accuracy of its location remains poor (level 5/10), but GPS coordinates place it near the hamlet Le Chatelier, on the town of Entrammes (code Insee 53094), in the department of Mayenne.

The site is now owned by private owners (company or private), and its access is not documented in terms of visits, services or tourism valuation. Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, do not specify its period of construction or its exact role in local history. Only the legal protection of 1978 attests to its heritage importance, covering various spaces such as La Grande Aulnaie, Le Port or La Coin derière.

Oppidas, in general, were fortified squares of the Iron Age or the Gaulish period, serving as refuges, political or economic centres. In the Pays de la Loire, these structures often bear witness to exchanges between Celtic peoples and Roman influences before the conquest. However, the lack of precise dating for l Protected plots suggest a significant extent, possibly linked to sustainable occupation or strategic functions (track control, storage).
