various small buildings now in ruins about it.

Hexagonal church. The other church is the
semi-hexagonal structure published by de Vogüé - it is now
much in ruins but it is still easily
recognisable from his drawings. It stands to the S.W.

angle of the walls is still preserved with parts
of the apse. The hexagonal walls are visible to
a height of about four feet. The interior is a
mass of debris.
