Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out at Cromarty East Church in May/June 2007 on behalf of Scottish Redundant Churches Trust to inform of plans for repair and conservation works. Five trenches were dug using spade and shovel then cleaned back by draw-hoe and towel, their purpose to discover the extent of disturbance to archaeological evidence, and clarify the nature of the church foundations and the direction and position of any drains. The excavations revealed that the large sandstone boulders making up the foundations had been concreted over and painted with a black water proofing substance, this seems to have been done around the entire church, which although keeping water out, must also be retaining moisture within the fabric of the building. Situated on the floor of in the west corner of the porch is a sandstone grave slab, its carved surface heavily weathered and decayed. Estelle Quick of Highland Museums Services Ltd provided a supplementary report, dating the slab to possibly the 14th century A.D, as it bears resemblance to slabs of that period from Cullicudden.
