Complete excavation of a one-aisled, timber-roofed church (8.60 x 4.20 m, walls about 1.50 m high) with original tile floor and fresco fragments on two layers; six disturbed tombs east of the apse. Pottery suggests a 15th-century date. Road opened in the 1950s had destroyed buildings and the monastery cemetery.
