Holywood Abbey
A plot of the cropmarks noted by the Royal Commission on the
Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS), show parts
of the halls, boundaries and graveyard of the medieval monastery of
Holywood, surrounding the much later parish church.
Recently finds of an Anglo-Saxon Whitby-style strap end, a
Northumbrian coins and an unusual, broken decorative plaque
indicate that there was an earlier religious centre, probably a
monastery of minster, on the site before the medieval one.
