The excavations took place in the area in front of the west side of the church entrance.

Five burials in earth graves were uncovered (tombs 21-25), orientated east-west, with the cranium to the west. The anthropological remains are being studied by Dr. Luciana Travan at the University of Udine. The skeletons were those of three adults and two infants. One of the burials (tomb 21) contained a bronze buckle found in correspondence with the pelvis. This artefact is a precise parallel to a buckle from a tomb in the Lombard necropolis of San Giovanni at Cividale, and is datable to the end of the 6th century A.D. There were no grave goods in the other burials.
At the southern edge of the excavation a trench was identified, running parallel to the south side of the church. This has been interpreted as a negative trace of the enclosure surrounding the area of the church building on this side.
