Excavation of the ecclesiastical enclosure (KE070-043----) revealed evidence of eighteen contemporaneous graves in the areas to the E, W and S of the church (KE070-043007-), with the main concentration occurring to the S, the area where the shrine (KE070-043003-) was also located. Three separate types of grave were present, simple dug graves, lintel graves and slab-lined cists.
