Sabel necropolis

The early medieval necropolis of Sabel is located in Les Costes-Gozon near Saint-Affrique , in the Aveyron department in France . She has striking similarity with the necropolis of San gene in a circle (Concelho) Fornos de Algodres in the Centro in Portugal .

The necropolis from the 7th century contains a number of rectangular, anthropomorphic graves of Visigoth origin , some of which are arranged in pairs, cut into the rock surface . The dolmen (remains) La Serra, Puech-de-la-Garde and La Vayssiére are nearby.
