Calvaire près du quartier de Cochaute, hameau de Sorinne-la-Longue, qui présente une physionomie particulière, avec la disposition parallèle et symétrique de ses maisons en grès. Dès le 1er siècle, des exploitations agricoles furent construites à Cochaute, après que César eut soumis les Condruzes. Ces exploitations d'une superficie de 50 ha étaient attribuées aux vétérans des armées de Rome.
