The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'ouvrage se présente comme un petit temple de forme rectangulaire ouvert sur une face, et voûté en berceau. Chacune des parois latérales intérieures contient une petite niche à fond plat, tandis que le mur du fond en possédait une sur plan semi-circulaire qui devait vraisemblablement être accompagnée d'un autel à la base.

History
The structure presents itself as a small temple of rectangular form open on one face, and vaulted with a barrel vault. Each of the interior side walls contains a small niche with flat bottom, while the back wall had one on semicircular plan which was probably to be accompanied by an altar at the base.
