The site is believed to have been a holy place before the Saxons
No remains or records survive of the Saxon church said to contain the bones of Celtic saints of the family of St Patrick.
From an account of the 12th century re-build:
When the inhabitants decided to build its church longer because it was too short to contain the people belonging to it. On which account it was necessary to level the earth of a great mound to the west of the church… when they levelled the aforesaid hill by digging they came across three stone tombs and the dead bodies of saints.
