The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Tambour de colonne en granit posé à même le sol, haut de 85cm, de provenance inconnue. Il porte un décor de feuilles imbriquées. Un fragment semblable existe sur le champ de foire de la commune voisine de Lavaveix-les-Mines. Ces restes ont une grande analogie avec un tambour de colonne conservé dans l'établissement thermal du Mont-Dore. Ce fragment devait appartenir à un temple ou une villa.

Drum of a granite column laid directly on the ground, 85cm high, of unknown origin. It bears a decoration of overlapping leaves. A similar fragment exists on the fair ground of the neighbouring commune of Lavaveix-les-Mines. These remains have a great analogy with a column drum preserved in the thermal establishment of Mont-Dore. This fragment must have belonged to a temple or a villa.
