Samenvatting

At Selwerd (on the outskirts of Groningen) two small excavations were carried out north and south of the Van Starkenborgh canal. The inves­tigation was prompted by the relocation of a gas main in this area. On the north side, at lhe protected site of a monastery, part of a medie­val kiln, probably for melting glass, was found. A 16th-century male inhumation most probably belongs to the monastery's graveyard on the south side, the main find was part of a medieval brick-kiln. It is not clear whether the bricks were used for building the monastery or for the castle of Selwerd, which stood just a little further to the south.
