Tumulus of 56 m of diameter and 18 m of height, which sheltered an important collection of objects and megalithic tools.

This 56 metres in diameter and 18 metres high burial mound was explored in 1853. In the main room, made up of three monolithic supports hidden under a quartz slab, and its covered walkway which has partly collapsed and buried by mud, a large collection of objects and megalithic tools (jasper necklaces, axes, pottery etc.), which you can admire at Musée de la Préhistoire in Vannes, was discovered. Classified in 1926, some secondary tombs were discovered after excavation in 1934 and it bears witness to the large pastoral and agricultural tribes who live around the Gulf of Morbihan.

Appelé à tort Butte de César, le nom de ce site archéologique est le tumulus de Tumiac. Entièrement fouillé, il ne reste rien sur place mais les collections sont visibles au Musée archéologique de Vannes.

Le nom de butte de César aurait été donné à cet endroit car la légende voudrait que lors de la bataille navale des romains contre les Vénètes , César aurait contemplé la scène depuis cette butte. Les Vénètes ayant la supériorité car leurs embarcations à voile se maniaient beaucoup plus facilement que les trières à rames des romains, oui mais comme le vent s'est calmé brusquement l'avantage est passé aux troupes de César.
