Outlined in the 1104 Hekla tephra
I am sure there are some better pictures of the church to come from the drones and kites, but for now here is one I took looking east from the top of the old farm mound of Kevlavík. You can see the white 1104 tephra from Hekla forming a circle that is the inside of the churchyard. The long axes of the turf church runes almost east west. At the far end of the photo is the church apse is outlined in white tephra. Now the question is what graves are before and after the 1104.
Here is a panorama looking northeast of the same church.
