An intertidal survey was carried out as part of a foreshore licence application for an outfall pipe carrying effluent from a treatment plant. The pipe will extend c. 75m onto the foreshore, c. 140m to the south of Kilmacsimon Quay on the Bandon River. The foreshore at Kilmacsimon consists of mudflats, which extend from the riverbank to the deep-water channel. An area c. 100m north and south of the proposed outfall was surveyed. No unrecorded archaeological features were noted during the survey, nor was there any visible evidence of two ‘fish weirs’ depicted on the 1844 first edition of OS 6-inch sheet 111.
