The Roc d'Anglars fort, classified as an archaeological site, was a motte castrale inhabited from the 5th to the 10th centuries, where you can see "notched huts" and "fishbone" constructions. This outpost, perched on a rock 50 metres above the Aveyron, kept watch over the ancient Carolingian road that wound its way through the valley.
