ABSTRACT={In Tremblay-en-France (Seine-Saint-Denis), the 2017 preventive excavation of a block house uncovered a pigsty and a lean-to that can be interpreted as a henhouse, all dating from between the 15th and 16th centuries. These archaeological findings can be compared with another lean-to built at the end of the 19th century and in use until the second half of the 20th century on the former seigniorial farm, whose heritage status is unquestionable but whose future remains uncertain. This lean-to shows evidence of two different uses: a henhouse and a pigsty. It has been derelict since the 1960s and is in a process of falling into disrepair. Other types of livestock, such as pigeons and cattle, can also be added to these elements, allowing us to reflect on the interpretation of certain buildings seen during excavations. Although such features are rarely documented today, their identification is essential to an understanding of animal housing.}}
