The article publishes materials from excavations of one of the stone churches lost in the 1930s–1940s in the monastery of St. Nicholas “in Ugresha” in the Moscow vicinity. In 2004, the remains of its basement masonry were cleared, which contained a large amount of spolia from an earlier church of the 15th – first half of the 16th century. A part of the monastery cemetery of the 14th–15th centuries was investigated, the site stratigraphy was established. The paper presents a complete plan and cross-sections of the structure, as well as all the limestone fragments found there. The article accompanies the research of A.L. Batalov, which focuses on the history of the church after written and visual sources, published in the same issue.
