Here's an image from 1781, showing the intact church and part of the Roman wall (bordering its grounds in the bottom left).
Here's a picture of the wall itself, taken in the 1930s by the founder of Antiquity OGS Crawford.
He had visited the site to take some photos to help illustrate someone else's article being published in Antiquity.

Alas, having the editor travel around the country to take photos for your article is not a service we offer anymore.
