Ti ar C’huré, Stone row in Crozon, France
Description
Ti ar C'huré is a stone row on the Crozon peninsula in Brittany, with large blocks arranged in a linear pattern across the landscape. The structure spans a considerable area, revealing how these megaliths were carefully positioned within the natural terrain.
History
The site was first officially documented in 1835 by de Fréminville, who called it a 'druidic sanctuary.' Later research suggests the arrangement dates to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, possibly serving as a protective enclosure during those periods.
Culture
The name 'Ti ar C'huré' comes from the Breton language, reflecting the Celtic roots of this region. The arrangement of stones suggests sacred or protective purposes that shaped how people once organized their world here.
Practical
The site is accessible across open ground and is easiest to explore during dry weather. Since the stones spread across a larger area, visitors should plan time for a walk through the entire arrangement.
Did you know?
The exact purpose and original extent of the arrangement remain partly unclear because it has been only minimally studied. The site passed to municipal ownership in 2008, reflecting decades of limited scientific attention before that.
