This investigation was carried out to fulfil a condition on a planning decision for further development at the Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Production Corporation facility. The request was made due to the recording of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure on the site by the Co. Cork SMR. It was thought that the enclosure, the precise location of which had not been established, might extend into the area being redeveloped. Two long parallel, east-west test-trenches were opened along external wall-lines of the proposed building on the site. The trenches revealed graded soils covering a stripped surface. Field-drains cut into the subsoil were noted, indicating that the stripped surface had not substantially reduced the original ground level. There were no archaeological features.
