Oppidum of Moulay

Excavations took place at the oppidum de Moulay or oppidum du Mesnil, an oppidum in the commune of Moulay in the Mayenne in the Pays de la Loire region between 1972 and 1975, when the commune was subdivided. The excavation of the first rampart uncovered suggestions an area of 12 hectares, as well as a number of artifacts now exhibited at the Musée archéologique départemental de Jublains. On 26 May 1986, the site was declared a monument historique. In 2004, road construction in Moulay and Mayenne uncovered a second rampart 1,200 meters long. The total area of the enclosure is 135 hectares, making it one of the ten largest oppida in France and the largest on the Armorican Massif. An 11-hectare excavation ended in June 2011.
