India, March 24 -- The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on Monday said it would document a site close to the Old Goa heritage complex, where excavation work being undertaken for the construction of a tourist information centre unearthed the remains of an age-old structure believed to be the remains of a church as well as dozens of cannon balls.

ASI assistant superintending archaeologist, Kishore Raghubans, said orders have been issued to stop the work which would resume only once the documentation is complete.

"When we found some cannonballs during the clearance work, we asked the department to stop the work and now what we are proposing to do is to document that site. We will document the site and give a report," Raghubans said.
