Five Gallic stelae dating from the Iron Age have disappeared in Finistère

Several Gallic steles would have disappeared in Plonéour-Lanvern, in Finistère.

There would be only one left in the subdivision that housed them, on the way to Keriforn, where individual houses are under construction.

It was a Breton teacher, Yann Cariou, who gave the alert, reporting the disappearance of five steles which would date from the Celtic era, reports

.

The tallest was 2.5 meters.

They weren't categorized.

Unfortunately, these stelae are not listed as historical monuments.

They therefore had no protection and could be moved.

Sandra Pereira, deputy mayor for town planning, told the regional daily that she had questioned the private company in charge of developing the subdivision.

With Yann Cariou, they both plead for a census of the steles in order to ensure better monitoring of this heritage.
