Monitoring was undertaken, on behalf of the Regeneration of South Armagh Group, to ensure that archaeologically significant deposits were not disturbed when installing an interpretative panel at Killevy Churches. A small quantity of disarticulated human bone was recovered from a superficial deposit within a small trench excavated in the interior of the easternmost, medieval, church c. 1.5m from its east wall. No other archaeologically significant deposits were disturbed during the course of the monitoring.
