In front of the west end of church...
THE FORTIFIED GATEWAY
In
front of the west end of the church was a singular fortified gateway
with the usual machicoulis and a drawbridge.
The space in front of the west end formed a square courtyard
of which the defences on the south side have disappeared.
North of this courtyard stood the Abbot's lodging; of this building
every trace has been removed down to the foundations.
The occupants of the buildings (around 1915) have erected a modern campanile
of the usual village type on the top of the old entrance gateway.
This has perhaps been done since Edmond
Duthoit (also see: Bibliography)
made his very beautiful drawings of the ruins in 1865.
