One, box-like, being incorporated in a late wall, had two compartments for relics, interconnected by a hole. Its dimensions: 41.5x45cm; height could not be determined. The second was cippus-like, 32x43m; 82cm high, with three compartments in its top. A hole in the narrow, central compartment enabled flow of oil outside, to a tiny niche installed near the top of the cippus. No lids were uncovered. Their original location could not be determined. The box-like might have been an under-altar reliquary. See under the annex attached to the church on the north.
