The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Pigeonnier circulaire, isolé dans un champ, ayant perdu son faîtage. Les boulins sont disposés de la hauteur d'appui jusqu'à la voûte, témoignant d'un agencement parfait des dalles de pierre dont certaines, en saillie, jouent le rôle de plage d'envol. L'accès se fait par une porte chanfreinée. L'ancienne porte en hauteur a été occultée. Ce pigeonnier est assez caractéristique des pigeonniers caussenards et peut remonter au 17e ou au 18e siècle.

History
Circular dovecote, isolated in a field, having lost its ridge. The nesting holes are arranged from the height of the plinth up to the vault, testifying to a perfect arrangement of stone slabs some of which, in projection, play the role of a landing platform. Access is by a chamfered door. The former door in height has been blocked. This dovecote is fairly characteristic of the dovecotes of the causses plateau and may date to the 17th or 18th century.
