The ruin


I came across this ruin while cycling from Narbonne to the old abbey at Fontfroide. How old it might be, or just what it was for I don't know. Perhaps a medieval toll station controlling the road. Or an overelaborate sheepfold. Who knows?

The precise location is just south of the D613 (aka the Route d'Ax-les-Thermes), a few kilometers north of the highway.
