Timeline

Origin and history

Tingoff Menhirs, located in Plomelin, Finistère, are three erect stones dating from Neolithic times. These megalithic monuments, typical of the prehistoric period, illustrate the cultural and religious practices of the societies of the period. Their alignment and size suggest a symbolic or commemorative function, although their exact use remains debated by archaeologists.

Classified as Historical Monuments by decree of 2 August 1978, these menhirs are now the property of Plomelin municipality. Their location, although documented in the Merimée database with an accuracy deemed "fair" (note 5/10), remains a point of interest for researchers and history enthusiasts. Their preservation allows us to study the construction techniques and social organization of neolithic communities in Brittany.

The Tingoff Menhir site is part of a Breton landscape rich in prehistoric remains. These monuments, often associated with funeral or astronomical rites, reflect the importance of megalithism in the region. Their official classification underscores their heritage value and the need to protect them for future generations.
