Description:Excerpt from Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of London, Vol. 8: January 9, 1879, to June 23, 1881 Some of the coffins (not very many now, whatever may have been the case originally) are inclosed within a rectangular structure, barrel-vaulted, and forming a sepulchral chamber about 10 to 12 feet by 7 to 8 feet, and the construction is entirely of mortar mixed with minute fragments of brick or tile, like the Roman mortar, but not nearly so hard. The inner face of the walls has been coated with a finer material. Perhaps one of the most remarkable features of this vast assemblage of stone coffins, is, that (unless, indeed, the marks inside the lids, to which I have referred, be such) there is not a single inscription or letter, not a cross or emblem, not an orna ment of any kind; nothing whatever to give the faintest indi cation of the people by whom, or the period at which, they were made, except that their collocation about the church, and their almost invariable position with foot to the east, may be deemed a certain indication of their Christian origin.
