Dendrochronological research on logs of the Tille Bridge (Switzerland), where all the accompanying finds belong to LaTène D, showed that these logs could have been cut somewhere between 120-116 BCE [Hachmann 1961, p. 258; Polenz 1971, p; Haffner 1979, pp. 405-409].'

But could it have been destroyed by the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimbri ?
It would seem strange for them to have bypassed this important oppidum in 113 BCE.
