AB Research concerning the area of the Brevnov monastery, a national cultural monument, has so far been aimed mainly at its earliest history and the structural development of the convent and the church prior to Baroque modification. The archaeological excavation and operative documentation of the building constructions focuses on the description of the later features from the 18th century, which includes the monastery garden; terrace wall; staircase; orangery; fountain; technological features of the heating system and the sophisticated water management. Evidence of military conflicts of the period was illustrated by a find of almost two thousands re/deposited bones from a mass grave of Prussian solders, discovered in two shallow pits close to the enclosure wall to the north from the granary.
