Origin and history

The Protohistoric Stele of Kerbrun is a vestige of the Iron Age, located in the territory of the commune of Old-Bourg, in the department of Côtes-d'Armor, in Brittany. This monument, typical of protohistory, illustrates the cultural and funeral practices of the local populations of that time. Its geographical location and conservation status are a valuable subject of study for archaeologists and historians specialized in this period.

The stele was classified as historical monuments by an order dated 5 August 1964. This official protection underscores its heritage importance and guarantees its preservation for future generations. Available data, especially from sources such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as an emblematic monument of the Côtes-d'Armor department, which is included in the list of historical monuments of the region.

From a general historical point of view, protohistoric steles such as the Kerbrun stele were often associated with symbolic or commemorative functions within iron age communities. They could mark places of assembly, burials, or territorial borders. In the Breton context, these monuments reflect an ancient human occupation and the cultural traditions of this region, before the arrival of Roman influences.
