This is a newly built dry stone hut, a traditional structure
in the Haute-Loire, France called a
chibotte. It is built using a technique known in French as
'des deux peaux' (two skins). Internally, there is a corbelled
vault of flat stones inclined at an angle of about 15° in a
vertical succession of rings of decreasing diameter.
Externally facing stones are arranged with an inclination
inwards to prevent them from slipping.
