The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Pigeonnier circulaire, ceinturé d'une randière, construit en calcaire et couronné d'un toit de lauzes ayant conservé son lanterneau d'envol. L'intérieur est dépourvu de trous de boulins, mais conserve des vestiges qui confirment l'utilisation de nids en osier.

History
Circular dovecote, surrounded by a randière, built in limestone and topped with a slate roof that has retained its flight lantern. The interior is devoid of pigeon holes, but retains remains that confirm the use of wicker nests.
