SAINT PIERRE D'AURILLAC
Gironde, France.
Gallo-Roman substructures below the choir of the
present church. They consist of a room arched like a
horseshoe (max. diam. 8.1 m), inside which were found
a straight partition wall joined to the foundation and
a floor made of a concrete of broken tiles on which
stood two altar bases. The Early Christian church was
made into a necropolis in the Merovingian period. At
La Chapelle there is a Late Empire Gallo-Roman villa,
with a number of walls made of a core of mortared
rubble faced with small stones.
