Abstract:		 The headland known as St Abb's Nunnery was shown to bear a late med secular hall and enclosing wall, identifiable as Rampart Hall. The preferred site for the 7th century Anglian monastery is Kirk Hall, where a massive turf bank may be identified as the monastic vallum. This had been preceded by two timber palisades, one of them 14C-dated to 7th-8th centuries AD. Au(adp)
