Upphaf fornleifarannsóknarinnar á Skriðuklaustri má rekja til forkönnunar sem fram fór á staðnum sumarið 2000. Með henni tókst að staðsetja og meta umfang rústa klaustursins en þær voru þá löngu gleymdar og horfnar utan kirkjutóttar og kirkjugarðs. Í ljós kom að heildargrunnflötur hinna týndu bygginga klaustursins var um 1200 fermetrar. Uppgröftur á rústunum hófst síðan í júní 2002. |

A vague joy filled him as he
looked; he felt that his soul
was come of the race of
those great mountains,
as a line of kings.
