The Castéra tumuli

The man has always lived on the island that was once the village of Talais. Not far from the village centre, at the western entrance to the commune, you can see a series of earthen mounds. These mottes formed the foundations of a monument, perhaps of a votive and sacred nature, or perhaps a dwelling.
The nearby presence of flint spearheads and bronze axes testifies to the human occupation of this site, dating back to the Neolithic period, when it was repopulated until more recent times. Currently in private ownership, the site is neither developed nor even signposted... It is interesting to look at the satellite views of this site, which show a vast field of traces of construction around the current remains.
