louhinec
 
 
 

Between - 3300 and - 2800 on a headland, old place of cutting up of coastal flint, one communautée Neolithic built this collective burial.

Deaths are buried there with various objects: potteries, weapons, tools, jewels. A pearl in molten glass was found in the funerary room and testifies to one use at the Bronze Age.
At the Gallo-Roman period, in the hillock already partially degraded, ballot boxes cinéraires are hidden.
 
 
From the Middle Ages, this site is used as career for the construction of buildings. Thus disappear from the stones of the pavement and the péristalithe, some pillars and at least a flagstone of cover.
With the XIX 2nd and at the beginning of XX 2nd century, the shady walk is used as handing-over with cart. In the east, following the stone extractions, the flagstone is inclined.
Obstructing the visibility of a coastal battery, the monument is dynamited during the second war.
 
 
Excavated in 1986 and 1987, the ground will be repurchased by the general council of Finistère and the commune of Plouhinec in 1988 and the monument will be restored.
