Butte from Tiot

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fault at the Butte de Tiot

The Butte von Tiot is a 190 m high mountain with two remains of a burial mound . It is located north of the hamlet of Le Lidrio, northeast of Campénéac , in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France .

A burial mound contains a megalithic stone box from the Bronze Age . A jagged, thick, purple sheet of slate covers the box, which is still surrounded by the rest of the tumulus.

The tumuli were discovered in the 1980s and examined by Jacques Briard . The analyzes showed that the hill was cut down as early as the Bronze Age .
