About
Le Pinacle, located at the coastal edge of Les Landes in Jersey, is a significant archaeological site featuring remains from multiple prehistoric and historic periods. The site is marked by a prominent rocky pinnacle and has evidence of human activity from the Neolithic through the Iron Age, including the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age. A notable aspect of the site is the mining of dolerite, which was used to produce axe heads during the Neolithic and Bronze Age. Additionally, a Gallo-Roman temple at the site highlights its continued importance into the Roman period. This combination of industrial and religious activities underscores Le Pinacle's significance as a center of cultural and economic activity over several millennia.
