The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ouvrage construit vers 1656, au moment de la construction du monastère voisin. Il se compose d'une salle souterraine voûtée en berceau que signale, à l'extérieur, un fronton au-dessus d'une courette en contre-bas qui servait d'abreuvoir et à laquelle on accède par une rampe. Le sol de cette courette est dallé et les murs sont construits en granit. Contre le mur sud est creusé un puits.

History
Work built around 1656, at the time of the construction of the neighbouring monastery. It consists of an underground hall with barrel vault which is indicated, on the exterior, by a pediment above a sunken courtyard which served as a watering place and which is reached by a ramp. The floor of this courtyard is paved and the walls are built in granite. Against the south wall a well is sunk.
