Summary (English)

  • Following the first excavations undertaken in 2005, research continued providing new and exciting results especially from the identification of the archaeological remains of a domus of late Roman date. The structure was situated just north-west of the old church and traces of the domus were also found inside the church in a room used as the sacristy. Also present in this room, above the late Roman level, were wedged post holes probably relating to wooden structures of early medieval date.

    Also of significance is the fact that the structure of the so-called sacristy was originally built (c.1300) as a funerary chapel, probably destined for the burial of the chapel’s founder. In fact, a monumental masonry loculus was found at the centre of the structure, containing the skeletal remains of an adult individual. The deceased was positioned facing towards the base of an altar.
