A capitelle (languedocien capitèlo) is a dry stone hut, i. H. without mortar, formerly used in the old garrigues of the towns of the Gard department as a temporary shelter for small landowners, their tools and their agricultural products (translated from Wikipedia).

During the construction of the new TGV line, these capitelle/huts were destroyed and rebuilt next to them. Thanks to Kermit and Ria for the documentation.
