Origin and history

It is an archaeological monument located in the town of Entrammes in the Pays de la Loire region. The available data do not specify its exact construction period or detailed historical context. This type of site, usually associated with the Iron Age, often served as a fortified site for the Gaulish population, playing a strategic and community role.

Oppidas were central spaces in the social and economic organization of Celtic peoples. They housed artisanal, commercial and sometimes religious activities. In the absence of specific information on the entrammes, it can be assumed that it met these general functions, reflecting the lifestyle and defensive needs of the local populations of the time.
