Origin and history

The Clermont Coast Plateau, located in the communes of Nohanent, Blanzat and Clermont-Ferrand, is a major archaeological site of the Iron Age 2. He is considered an oppidum candidate for the identification of Gergau, famous for his role in the Gaulish resistance against Rome. The excavations and studies attest to an uninterrupted human presence from the Neolithic to the Gallo-Roman period, emphasizing its strategic and cultural importance in the region.

The site is classified as a Historic Monument, protecting a vast set of cadastral plots covering several hectares. Although the sources do not specify the architectural details or the exact remains, the approximate location (noted as "passible" in the Merimée base) and the cadastral references indicate an area of extensive archaeological interest. The lack of accurate data on preserved structures or discovered artifacts limits the fine understanding of the site, but its association with Gergau makes it an emblematic place of Gaulish history.

The period of the main construction is dated the Iron Age 2, an era marked by the emergence of the oppidas, these strong places that served as political, economic and military centers for the Celtic peoples. The Côtes de Clermont plateau illustrates this dynamic, with a prolonged occupation suggesting a central role in the local territorial organization. No mention of historical characters or specific events is available from the sources consulted, but the site remains a key testimony of protohistoric societies in Auvergne.
