Description
I found this old stone hut in the woods down my house, in France, we call those little stone hut "Borie", it was built before by the shepards, getting the sheeps to a place where they could eat all the grass they want for a certain time! How nice!
And so, those sheperds were buildings "bories" to have somewhere to hide from the rain, and then the night as come, sleep! It was possible to actually make a fire inside some of those huts.

And if this borie is inside the woods, it is because there was no woods around her when she was built! It was actually built when the forest was a plain! This tells us that this one must be pretty old...
