Architecture

Architectural description from the regional heritage survey, in French:

La colline de Coat Ligavan est désormais peuplée de maisons contemporaines. Il ne reste qu'un bâtiment ancien, qui comporte des encadrements en pierre de taille dotées d'inscriptions gravées. Le bâtiment est maçonné avec des moellons équarris et couvert par un toit en bâtière avec des ardoises. Sa façade sud offre trois ouvertures, dont la porte d'entrée, qui comporte un encadrement chanfreiné. Les trois pierres formant un arc en plein cintre comportent les inscriptions suivante : "IHEC : CERVEL :", "1695" et "CATARIN LEGOAS". L'encadrement de la porte est entièrement chanfreiné et se termine, sur la clé de voûte, par une accolade. De part et d'autre de cette porte se trouvent deux fenêtres chanfreinées. La première, à gauche de la porte, est décorée d'une accolade, tandis que la seconde, à droite de la porte, présente un simple chanfrein sur son linteau.
