NG 3610 0360 A watching brief was carried out by Emma Malone, 18–30 July 2013, during repair work and the construction of new steps to a dilapidated stone dyke surrounding Kilmory Cemetery. Sections of the wall have clearly been repaired and rebuilt many times, using different walling construction techniques. Three parts of the wall were identified as requiring repair due to collapse. Two fragments of human remains were revealed as a result of soil movement after the removal of collapsed stonework. These were photographed and replaced in the same area when the wall was reinstated.
