Far earlier, the area around the present-day church seems to have been a place of importance as pre-Christian grave fields, several centuries older than the church, have been found both north and south of the church.
Moito antes, a área ao redor da igrexa semella que foi un lugar importante xa que se atoparon campos de tumbas precristiáns no norte e no sur, varios séculos máis antigos que a igrexa.
