An archaeological evaluation was carried out at Drumacanver Road, Drumacanver, Co. Armagh, as part of the planning application for a new dwelling. The application site is located in the vicinity of a possible church site (‘Kilnacarrick’, ARM015–040) described briefly by Canon J.B. Leslie (1911). Although no visible remains survive on the ground, the location of a building shown on the 1860 OS map coincides with Leslie’s description of the church and graveyard. The evaluation consisted of three test-trenches across the proposed footprint of the house. Nothing of archaeological significance was noted.
