Abstract:		 A graffiti recording exercise and training session was undertaken at the Mill of the Black Monks public house, to record historic graffiti carved into the stonework of the building. This was undertaken as part of the Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership Archaeology and Geology Project. Recording was undertaken using pro-forma sheets and digital photography. The Mill of the Black Monks is a former watermill, originally associated with Monk Bretton Priory. The building appears to date to the 17th century, when it was probably rebuilt with stone reused from Monk Bretton House, itself constructed from material reclaimed from the former monastery. A total of 22 inscriptions were recorded within the building and 18 on the exterior. Further graffiti was noted on the first floor of the south block, and may be located within other parts of the building, but this could not be investigated due to time constraints. The graffiti largely comprises carved names and initials, the earliest dated being that of one of the millers, Ralph Taylor, in 1709. The latest dates to 1897. A faint 'butterfly' apotropaic mark on a reused window jamb may have been carved prior to the installation of the window in the mill.
