Pierre d'Appel, Archaeological site in Étival-Clairefontaine, France.

The Pierre d'Appel fortified settlement spans 2.5 hectares and features defensive walls reinforced by a 20-meter-long trench on its western side.

Archaeological excavations between 1967 and 1981 revealed multiple occupation periods, from the Middle La Tène period through the Gallo-Roman era.

The site contains evidence of various social groups, including warriors, aristocrats, craftsmen, and religious representatives who inhabited the settlement.

The archaeological site sits at an elevation of 492.3 meters, marking the eastern end of the Répy massif near the Saint-Dié basin.

Ceramic fragments discovered at the site, including Italian Campanian pottery and wine amphoras, demonstrate long-distance trade connections.
