Adjoining this house, two sculptured figures—one of an ecclesiastic and the other in mail armour ([Figs. 909] and [910])[180]—are stuck into the ground. The first has probably been a recumbent figure on a tomb, and the other is an isolated upright figure, the back being as carefully wrought as the front.
A laudable effort has been made to preserve the ruins by enclosing them with a lofty fence; but much might yet be done by way of preservation and disclosure by excavation.
