Authors: Evgeni Koev Abstract: In another terrain research for the examination of the region around the Ivanovo Rock-hewn monasteries, conducted at the end of 2020 and at the beginning of 2021, well-shaped rock-hewn caves and rock niches with a different designation were discovered, which have now been known so far. Among the newly discovered objects, one relatively big rock niche, having different rock-hewn elements adjacent to it, stood out. Those elements complemented the monk dwelling with respect to space and designation. The general layout, the new construction elements enrich the concept about the structure of the monk rock-hewn dwellings in the Polomie. The location of the object, its linkage to the rest of the anthropogenic parts of the region and its characteristic features give us a new idea about the range and structure of the Great monastery "St Archangel Michael" at the Ivanovo village, municipality of Russe.
