Description
A square stone construction (measuring 6x6 meters), with a pyramidal roof in Lauze, is surrounded by many ruins. On the west side, a ruined fireplace stands, at the roof. The other three slopes of the roof have an OUTEAU. The south side has a small window. To the east, there is a front door. Inside, a floor on joists creates an attic space, probably supported by a cantilevered structure made up of four sides that come together or by a cantilever vault. This construction is remarkable for its dimensions. These dry stone huts are an integral part of the Périgord landscape, and are generally found in old wine areas.
