LAPANOUZE-DE-CERNON Aveyron, France.

At Le Pas-de-la-Selle near the cami ferrat in the valley of the Cernon on the Causse du Larzac, excavations have uncovered an enclosure (110 x 90 m). It contained a small rectangular building (0.6 x 4.6 m) with walls of dry stone and a tile roof; it was no doubt a fanum. The material collected includes some terra sigillata from La Graufesenque, some engine-turned pottery, and above all a large amount of stamped pottery of the Late Empire.
