Abstract

The foundation of the Medieval settlement of Szentábrahámtelke (meaning Saint Abraham’s grounds), the Saint Abraham Monastery, and the town of Ráckeve on Csepel Island have been in the focus of research since the 19th century; their entangled history provided research and the scholarly discussion with topics since long. Revisiting earlier research, it is striking to realise how existing hypotheses neglect archaeological finds and field observations. For this reason, after briefly outlining historic data and related theories, the present article focuses on new field observations and recovered artefacts, and concludes with a preliminary summary of the archaeological fieldwork conducted in the past five years.
