This article presents the results of a developerfinded excavation carried out in 1977 on the layout of the RN21 road at the Naux locality of the Colayrac-Saint-Cirq en Agenais commune. The remains brought to light present all the architectural characteristics of a moated residence dating to the late14th century. The artefact, animal bone, archive and palaeoenvironment studies all converge towardr the original bypothesis : the moated site is a bourgeois residence of civil character, indicative of an aristocratie lifestyle.

The distinctive quality of the farm at Laquenexy is that it was discovered entire, giving an overall understanding of its structure (the fittings and amenities of the buildings) and the daily life of its occupants through study of the archaeological goods (crockery, metal objects, fauna and vegetable macro-remains). If we accept that it is indeed the excavated farm that is described in text sources, it is mentioned in archives from the 13th till the end of the 17th century. It would have gone under the name Loixy or Loixey and was first cited in 1234 in the cartulary of Abbey Saint-Vincent in Metz. In 1518 the nearby fortified manor-house of Villers and the farm of Loixy belonged to seigneur François de Gournais. The last mention of the seigneurial farm is made in a deed of acknowledgement and census written in 1681. The farm must have ori...

Les huit structures dégagées, relativement modestes, livrent un mobilier particulier qui indique que ce petit cimetière a accueilli des défunts identifiables à des membres de l'aristocratie arverne. outre la présence de ces objets exceptionnels (char, armement, amphore, faune abondante…), cet ensemble se singularise par la crémation sur bûcher en fosse et par de complexes pratiques post-crématoires.
