Agia Marinouda: sounding at the church of Agioi Konstantinos and Eleni

In 2009 the Department of Antiquities opened two squares, one on the west and one on the east side of the ruined church of Agioi Konstantinos and Eleni at Agia Marinouda, to clarify the boundaries of the ruins for the granting of a building license¹. Eustathios Raptou, Archaeological Officer, directed the work¹. On the west the excavators uncovered a poorly preserved chamber with a trefoil plan, which the report suggests may have been the church narthex; on the east they located an annex, understood to have lain on the church's south side¹. The excavation did not continue because much of the church and the apse of the Holy Bema lay in neighbouring plots¹. The report records no archaeological finds and proposes, on architectural grounds, that the monument may date to the Middle Byzantine period¹.
