FR Autrefois on trouvait ici une carrière d'extraction d'ocre. Il ne reste pas grand chose : quelques rails, les restes d'un wagonnet, une grosse roue sur laquelle devait être enroulé un câble pour tirer les wagonnets.
Deux barres se rejoignant à 90° sur l'arbre y étaient fixées. Elle y sont maintenant intégrées car l'arbre, petit à petit a commencé à manger l'angle.
EN In the past, there was an ochre quarry here. There is not much left: a few rails, the remains of a wagon, a large wheel on which a cable had to be wound to pull the wagons.
Two bars joining at 90° on the shaft were attached to it. They are now integrated because the tree, little by little began to eat the angle.
Type of Tree: oak tree
