An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of a proposed development within the boundary of the present graveyard of Killadeas Parish Church, Rockfield, Co. Fermanagh. The proposed development site within the present graveyard is located c. 30m to the south of an early medieval graveyard and church site. Three hand-dug trenches (2m by 1m) were excavated, in advance of two machine trenches (20m by 1m) opened under supervision. The heavily truncated remains of a possible curvilinear ditch were uncovered during the evaluation, but the exact dimensions of the feature could not be ascertained due to modern disturbance. No archaeological finds were recovered from the feature.
