Such a stone 'hut' is called a 'borie' and was indeed used in earlier times to shelter and even to spend the night. They were mainly intended for shepherds.

The Château Le Paluel was built in the 15th century. Even though it is now just a ruin, the mighty building dominates the landscape near Saint-Vincent-le-Paluel in the Périgord Noir. It is located on a promontory in the valley of Sainte-Nathalène overlooking the Énéa stream, two kilometers downstream of the village, and was added to the list of historical monuments in 1927. Today it can be visited. There is also a small kiosk on site that offers refreshments in season. A detour from the hike to the château is worthwhile. The current opening times can be found on Google Maps.
