About

The Oppidum de la Cloche is an archaeological site located in the Bouches-du-Rhône (France), at the boundary between the communes of Rove and the Pennes-Mirabeau, on an advanced hill north of the Nerthe massif, overlooking the Nerthe road and is linked to its history. This site of the second iron age was probably founded in the third century BC. It may be from Teste-Negre's oppidum nearby.
