Studied on only three sides, the building measures 9.70, metres long by at least 5 metres wide. Inside, its floor was formed of a pavement of small fiat stones (here represented by a modem reconstruction), and a red paint coating covered part of the walls.
From the middle of the 12 century, the building is mentioned in documents as being part of the cathedral fabric. The fabric is ah institution designed to provide for the construction and the upkeep of holy buildings. It is also responsible for keeping the liturgical objects, the vestments and the liturgical books. It draws its resources from the tithes, donations and legacies given by the faithful.
