Resistivity survey revealed a building orientated east --->west 23mX16m with a north aisle and a vague possible south aisle. A mechanical digger was used to strip a section off the centre area but no floor was revealed. Turf removal across one wall revealed a 70cm wall of ragstone similar to building 1. Although it was not investigated there appeared to be an apse at the west end on the resistivity print-out. (1)
