The monitoring of reparation works to the damaged bank delimiting the medieval church and graveyard was carried out between November 2010 and March 2011 and involved the removal of a concrete path and the construction of a stone wall to retain the medieval bank. The work was completed to a high standard and involved minimal impact on the archaeological remains. A small quantity of disarticulated human bones were recovered on site as a result of the initial works. These were analysed by an osteoarchaeologist and a report was submitted to the National Museum. The bones were reinterred on site with the permission of the National Museum.
