Origin and history

Quiberon's tumulus is a historical monument dating from the Prehistory. Located in the commune of Quiberon, in the department of Morbihan (Bretagne region), it is a funerary building typical of this period, used to house collective or individual burials. This type of structure, often in earth or stone, reflects the beliefs and rituals of local prehistoric societies, although the specific details of this tumulus are not specified in the available sources.

The protection of this tumulus was formalized by a classification order under the Historic Monuments on 18 May 1931, under the cadastral reference F 170. This classification underlines its heritage and archaeological importance, although practical information about its exact location or accessibility remains limited. The accuracy of its location is assessed as poor (note 5/10), which may complicate its identification in the field.

This monument is part of a regional context marked by a strong presence of prehistoric remains, reflecting the ancient occupation of the Breton territories.
