Origin and history

The protohistoric steles of Saint-Philibert, located at Trégunc in Finistère (British), date from the Iron Age. These two monuments, classified by ministerial decree on 12 January 1965, are listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments under the cadastral reference F 824. Their precise location, assessed as "satisfactory a priori" (note 6/10), is near the said place 7 P Saint-Philibert, according to the GPS coordinates available.

Owned by the commune of Trégunc, these steles illustrate the human occupation and funeral or commemorative practices of Breton protohistory. Their presence in a rural space today suggests a continuity of human settlement since this distant time. Although their exact use (territorial marker, grave, religious symbol) is not specified in the sources, their classification underscores their archaeological and heritage value.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum platform confirm their protected status but do not provide details of their current state of conservation, accessibility to the public, or possible associated excavations. Their study is more of archaeology than written history, given the absence of textual sources for this period in Brittany.
