EVALUATIE VAN EEN MONUMENT: KLOOSTERTERREIN SELWERD (GR.)
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.
