Groblje pri Prekopi is a settlement to the northeast of Šentjernej in southeastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Jugovzhodna Slovenija statistical region.[2]
The local church, built in a walled enclosure in the centre of the village, is dedicated to Saint Martin and belongs to the Šentjernej parish. It is mentioned in written documents dating to 1526, but owes its current Baroque style to a refurbishment in the early 17th century. Its main altar dates to the 19th century and the side atars are from the 17th century.[3]
An archaeological site near the settlement has yielded numerous Roman finds with building foundations and a necropolis with coins from the 2nd to 6th centuries AD, and it has been suggested it is the site of the Roman waystation Crucium on the Emona to Siscium Roman road.[4]
