A salvage excavation was conducted on the lower western slope of a high hill east of Nahal Qidron, Jerusalem. The remains were identified as a Byzantine monastery. Most of the site was highly disturbed by construction activities and was excavated as one large unit, including two courtyards, northern and southern, the rooms surrounding them on the north and south, and an underground burial complex in the east. The finds––pottery, roof tiles, glass and mosaic floors––date to the Byzantine–Early Islamic periods, up to the eighth century CE. Fragments of a few ossuaries date to the Early Roman period, but they lack a clear stratigraphic context. The monastic complex belongs to the one-story coenobium type that flourished in the Judean Desert during the Byzantine period.
