NN 70655 02486 An evaluation of seven trenches was taken at Old Kilmadock Graveyard, in September 2022, primarily to prepare a quote to lift and conserve a previously discovered early medieval cross slab. The evaluation proposed to explore the boundary of the site, particularly the bulge on the southern side, along with a walkover survey of the findspots of two other inscribed stones to explore their context. The evaluation uncovered that fragments of the
cross slab are scattered across the findspot and identified a previously unknown Ogham inscription. The excavations of the cemetery boundary identified places of soil slumping in the cemetery and at least two phases of construction of the boundary wall.
