A request for further information, requiring testing, was issued in order to progress an application for a Grant of Planning for the construction of a dwelling at Cloghmacsimon, Bandon, Co. Cork. The site lies inside the zone of archaeological potential for the historic town of Bandon. Five test-trenches were excavated on the footprint of the proposed dwelling and along the entrance. The proposed development site appeared to have been part of a bottling store. The overburden on the site contained dumped whole and broken waste bottles to a depth of 0.4m and a fill beneath this topsoil, comprising glass bottle material, reached a maximum depth of c. 1.25m in places. The subsoil was a mid-brown-orange, stony clay. No archaeological finds or levels were noted.
