Motte féodale des Bourgs Heusas stands in Val-d'Arguenon (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Haut Middle Ages). No visits are on record for this building.

Val-d'Arguenon preserves a pair of feudal mottes, remnants of early medieval defensive architecture. These two earthworks, classified as historical monuments since 1961, attest to the territorial and military organization of medieval Brittany. Their characteristic morphology of earth mounds surrounded by ditches makes them rare witnesses to the evolution of power structures before the emergence of stone castles.

  • Access and visiting conditions are not documented with the local authority.
