[241] Since this description was written the foundations of the side walls have been excavated by the Duke of Hamilton, and from these operations it has been discovered that the church was originally of Norman construction. The foundations of a south-west doorway have been laid bare, and show that it has had nook-shafts with Norman bases. A north door, opposite the above, has also been discovered.
