Loqueltas.

Ouessant fut occupé dès le Néolithique puisque un cromlech datant du second millénaire est visible encore aujourd’hui au nord-est de l’île.
Par ailleurs on y a mis à jour les vestiges d’un village orthogonal à habitat ouvert, constitué de maisons de bois et d’argile crue. Un ensemble pouvant regrouper plusieurs centaines d’habitants. Des ateliers pour le tissage, la production de poteries et la fabrication du bronze y furent découverts de même que de nombreuses meules plates témoignant de cultures céréalières. Ces vestiges datent de l’âge de Fer(-500 à -300 avant J-C).

Ouessant was occupied since the Neolithic and a cromlech dating from the second millennium is still visible today in the northeast of the island.
The remains of an open-habitat orthogonal village, made up of houses made of wood and raw clay, were also discovered. A group of several hundred inhabitants. Workshops for weaving, pottery production and the manufacture of bronze were discovered there as well as numerous flat grindstones testifying to cereal crops. These remains date from the Iron Age (-500 to -300 BC).
