%X Le site de Chateau Rocher (Saint-R¨¦my-de-Blot, Puy-de-D me), a fait l¡¯objet d¡¯une courte op¨¦ration arch¨¦ologique pr¨¦ventive ¨¤ l¡¯automne 2008, portant sur l¡¯angle nord-est du batiment. Les observations sur le bati et les sondages arch¨¦ologiques r¨¦alis¨¦s au cours de cette ¨¦tude permettent de mieux cerner l¡¯histoire monumentale de la partie nord du chateau. L¡¯¨¦tat architectural le plus ancien conserv¨¦ correspond ¨¤ un ¨¦difice de plan barlong, aux angles arrondis, dont la date de construction pourrait remonter ¨¤ la fin du xiie ou au tout d¨¦but du xiiie s. ¨¤ cette premi¨¨re phase succ¨¨de une forteresse agrandie, cantonn¨¦e de tours circulaires, qui int¨¨gre le batiment ant¨¦rieur. Cette seconde campagne architecturale, post¨¦rieure ¨¤ la conqu¨ºte de l¡¯Auvergne par Philippe Auguste, est difficile ¨¤ dater pr¨¦cis¨¦ment, bien que certains indices typo-chronologiques pourraient faire penser ¨¤ une reconstruction au cours du bas Moyen  ge, peut-¨ºtre cons¨¦cutive ¨¤ la reprise en main du chateau par Jean II de Chauvigny de Blot, en 1365. Enfin, d¡¯autres r¨¦am¨¦nagements mineurs interviennent au cours de la p¨¦riode moderne. The site of Chateau Rocher (Saint-R¨¦my-de-Blot, Puy-de-D me), was the object of a brief rescue excavation in the autumn of 2008, on the north-east corner of the building. Observations on the structure and the archaeological surveys carried out at the heart of this study enable a better determination of the construction history of the castle's north part. The oldest surviving architectural phase involves a building of oblong plan with rounded corners, which could date back to the end of the 12th century or the very beginning of the 13th century. This first phase gives way to an enlarged fortress confined by circular towers, which incorporate the preceding building. This second architectural campaign, later than Philippe Auguste's conquest of the Auverne, is difficult to date precisely, although certain typo-chronological clues could suggest a reconstruction during the late Middle Ages, perhaps resulting from the takeover of the castle by Jean II of Chauvigny de Blot in 1365. Finally some minor redevelopment occurs during the modern period.
