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.
