Really nice site, Red. Are those niches in the wall catacombs? The whole place looks quite different to most other churchyards I've seen and you can feel how old it is. Interesting gravestones too. Is that a spade on one of the stones? I was wondering if that might be the grave of a sexton. Really cool stuff.
