Monitoring was undertaken on behalf of the Environment and Heritage Service, Northern Ireland, to ensure that archaeologically significant deposits were not disturbed when installing seven interpretative panels in a variety of locations at Devenish Island. A small quantity of disarticulated human bone and fragments of animal bone were recovered from a small trench excavated 1m to the north of the plinth adjacent to the stone cross in the upper graveyard. No other archaeologically significant deposits were disturbed.
