The structures which stood on the site to the rear of 96 South Main Street, Bandon, Co. Cork, were demolished prior to the time of testing. One test-trench was machine-excavated on site. The stratigraphy consisted mainly of a mid-brown sandy gravel overlying a gravelly, natural subsoil. The presence of a stem of a clay pipe and a piece of 19th-century pottery in the topsoil suggested that development on the site dates to this period. No finds or features of an archaeological nature were noted.
