Origin and history

The tumulus of Plouegat-Guérand is an archaeological vestige located in the municipality of the same name, in the department of Finistère (region Brittany). This monument, typical of the Bronze Age, bears witness to the funeral practices of this time, although little detailed information on its construction or use is available from current sources. Ranked a Historical Monument by order of 7 June 1977, this tumulus (referenced under cadastre C 226) illustrates the heritage importance attached to prehistoric sites in Brittany.

Its location, reported as approximate with an accuracy considered "passible" (note 5/10), is located near the so-called Kergoualc-H. No mention is made of its accessibility or contemporary use (visits, services).
