Le Cheslé, Celtic archaeological ruins in Bérismenil, Belgium.

The fortified settlement extends across 13 hectares of land, featuring a double rampart structure that stretches for 1,750 meters around the perimeter.

Archaeological excavations since 1960 have revealed that the site served as a refuge for local populations during the 7th, 6th, and 5th centuries BCE.

The name Cheslé originates from ancient words meaning castle on rock, reflecting the strategic placement of this Celtic fortification in the region.

Located near La Roche-en-Ardenne, the archaeological site requires a hiking approach and offers no facilities for visitors with mobility limitations.

The site contains a defensive wall measuring 6 meters in height, constructed using a combination of earth, schist, and wood materials.
