One of the numerous round garrisons in the Lot department

Gariotts or Garioten ( Occitan gariòta ) are round or angular stone huts made of dry stone from the area around Cahors in the Lot department , which were built without mortar. They sometimes have the appearance of a very small nave with an apse at the end. The interior furnishings include protruding panels, bench altars , and sometimes niches. They are a small local variety of the Cabanes in the south of France , which are mostly round and larger.

Many gariots were torn down. The first to stand in the areas that were cleared for machine- friendly agriculture , especially in Bas- Quercy .

The dolmen in the Bois des Escures 1 + 2 are located east of a forest path between the villages of Beauregard and Varaire , southwest of Limogne-en-Quercy in the Lot department in the Midi in France . From Dolmen No. 1 only a few stones are preserved. A dressing room was built on its remains.
