In advance of a private development project to carry a waterpipe across the River Bandon and to construct a pontoon marina in the Bandon next to the existing quay at Kilmacsimon, Co. Cork, an underwater inspection and licensed metal-detector survey of the proposed development areas did not reveal objects or features of archaeological interest.
The survey area of the waterpipe corridor extended c. 20m upstream and downstream of the proposed route, which traverses a c. 60m-wide portion of the main channel that is below mean low-water level. The survey area for the marina reached c. 30m into the river along c. 70m of the existing quay.
