About the location

Oppidum de Montsérié
Le Bourg, 65150 Montsérié
  • Hautes-Pyrénées
  • Occitanie
Mount Ergé reminds us of the first peoples who settled in this country, as well as the presence of the Romans and their divinities, mixed with those of our primitive ancestors.
A secluded camp dominates the village with tumuli, funerary caves, primitive dwellings. The oppidum that dominates the village at an altitude of 750 m is no less than 2000 m in circumference. There were 5 dolmens, most of them in ruins or missing. Still visible, a funerary cavern under a small tumulus, the location of the village (bottom of Cabanes) naturally sheltered by a rocky bar, important earthrises bordering the oppidum as well as many ancient stone walls (ramparts). The presence of a place of worship or sanctuary lets us imagine the sacredness of the forest whose mystery hides the invisible presence of divinity. The most remarkable piece found on site is without a doubt a small mask made of bronze sheet, a real masterpiece, work carried out in repurposed. Its controversial dating dates from the 1st or 3r
