Description
It appears that the construction of the church, comprising nave, choir, porticus chambers and narthex, was conceived as a single building project. Within the porticus chambers were at least ten burials. Substantial fragments of Roman masonry were found in the construction of the porticus chambers. The narthex had been constructed over a wide, deep ditch (undated) necessitating more substantial foundations.
