Also called Gallo-Roman pile, this turaque or tower is dated between the first and third centuries AD. It is located between the town of Biran and the island of the Biran mill. It was surely the mausoleum of a rich landowner or notable person of that time. A second pile stood 20 meters further north. It was destroyed during the 19th century. The place with an enclosure has not yet been excavated. It must contain tombs and objects of worship.
