Description
This 13th century chapel is surrounded by an enclosure dating from the 14th century. It is located at the northeast corner of a stone enclosure which has a fortified door. It is an oriented chapel, with a single nave and a semi-circular bedside which is slightly narrower. It seems that the nave has been extended to the west. Entrance to the south has undergone many modifications. The door of origin, probably in full arc, no longer exists, but its outline can still be discerned. The nave is covered with a broken cradle vault which extends over the span of the choir. The apse has a vault in oven ass. The enclosure is erected with a low height wall, where we can see foundations in opus spicatum as well as some archères. On the eastern wall, we find the fairly imposing impressions of the vestiges of a door which probably formed a covered passage between two arcs. Only the inner arc with the wall is always visible.
