The Iron Age basement of Guissény in the Finistère department is one of around 200 known basements in Brittany in France . The basement is in Ranhir, a district of the municipality of Guissény .

It was under a stable building built about ten years ago. While working on the floor of the stable, a rubble was found that closed the entrance to a cavity. After opening, a structure about 30.0 meters long was discovered. The archaeologist Michel Le Goffic examined the facility, which has its closest equivalent about 10 miles away in Abers . The rock-cut basement, which is typical for Brittany, consists of four different sized chambers in a row. The last, narrowest and deepest is made of worked stones.
