An assessment, including testing, was required at No. 16 Main Street South, Gully Rural, Bandon, Co. Cork. The site is within the zone of archaeological potential of the historical town of Bandon and comprises a pharmacy with overhead accommodation. It is proposed to extend the building to the rear. Owing to the narrowness of the site and the presence of pipes crossing it, one north–south trench was opened along the full length of the area to be developed. It was dug to a depth of 0.7m, where natural orange boulder clay was encountered. On top of this lay a fill of 19th-century soil and rubble. No finds or features of archaeological interest were noted in the trench.
