An archaeological evaluation was carried out at 8 Kearney Road, Knockinelder, Portaferry, Co. Down, in response to a planning application for the construction of a replacement dwelling. Two cist burials (DOW032–024 and DOW032–035) are located in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development.
Two test-trenches were mechanically excavated to the surface of the natural subsoil. These trenches measured 10m by 2m and nothing of archaeological significance was encountered in the evaluation.
