Tumulii de Kerelcun

Round barrows are found across the Low Countries and France. Many were raised in the Late Neolithic and the Bronze Age. The Bell Beaker phenomenon of the late third millennium BCE brought a new burial rite to western Europe: individual burials, often under a tumulus and with weapons, in contrast to the collective, weaponless burials of the earlier Neolithic. The Dutch hunebedden, the megalithic tombs of the north, belong to the earlier tradition and are described in their own article. Further down this page, About this kind of monument gives the whole of “Low Countries and French barrows”.

Typological estimate, not a date for this site: monuments of this kind in this region are normally dated 5000 BCE to 3000 BCE. The range comes from what is known about megalithic mound monuments in France; nothing measured on this site itself is on record, so it may be younger or older than the range suggests.

The range rests on this regional background (source: the Wikipedia article “Tumulus”): The Neolithic Saint-Michel de Carnac tumulus was built between 5,000 and 3,400 BC and the Bougon tumuli between 4,500 and 3,000 BC.
