Le Pinacle, Archaeological site at Saint Ouen, Jersey, Channel Islands.
Le Pinacle stands as a natural rock formation along the coastal edge of Les Landes, featuring multiple archaeological layers from different historical periods.
The site contains remains from five distinct periods, including Neolithic settlements, Chalcolithic structures, Bronze Age artifacts, Iron Age findings, and a Gallo-Roman temple.
Ancient communities used the dolerite deposits at Le Pinacle to manufacture axe heads during both the Neolithic period and Bronze Age.
Visitors can access the site through Saint Ouen parish and examine the foundations of the rectangular Gallo-Roman temple measuring 11.2 meters by 9.15 meters.
Two earth and rubble ramparts at different levels of the site provide evidence of separate construction phases during the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods.
