Penchâteau foothill fort
The foothill fort of Penchâteau (French: L'éperon barré de Penchâteau) is a section wall from the Iron Age (5th century BC) on the Atlantic coast near Le Pouliguen , in the Loire-Atlantique department in France .
A characteristic of many section walls is their location at an exposed point, here on a steep sea coast. These demarcations, which are particularly widespread in the British Isles and are called Promontory Forts there, are such. B. the foothills fort at the Pointe de Lostmarc'h on the continent is otherwise less common.
A Gauls camp and a Celtic camp in the immediate vicinity were recorded here. Both are inscribed in the list of historical monuments , the Gauls camp since 1996 under the number PA44000002 (Graben) and the Celtic camp since 1979 under the number PA00108781 (Wall).
