Camp de Bierre, Ancient fortified settlement in Merri, France.
The archaeological site extends over 14 hectares on a rocky spur overlooking the Trun plain, bordered by the Dives valley and two small valleys.
The site reveals continuous human occupation from the Neolithic period around 3500 BC through the Gallo-Roman era, with significant Celtic presence.
The fortification system includes three enclosures with dry stone walls, reaching 32 meters in thickness at the base and 7 meters in height.
A marked 1000-meter trail guides visitors through the archaeological remains, with informational brochures available at the entrance.
Archaeological excavations uncovered flint tools, slate bracelets, ceramics, and evidence of multiple construction phases spanning five millennia.
