Bergerie ronde (ou courbe) de Goualade

Description

At the end of the 19th century, nearly 230 sheepfolds of this type existed in the region. Today, only the one in Goualade remains, which is the most remarkable. It has a masonry enclosure made of alios and limestone rubble more than 20 metres in diameter. This type of building provided shelter for flocks of sheep at night, to protect them from bad weather and wolves, but also made it possible to collect the manure that was essential for the cultivation of a few hectares of poor soil near the tenant farms. The sheepfold is listed in the supplementary inventory of Historical Monuments.
