A number of test-trenches were opened before construction of an apartment building at a development site on the east side of Shandon Hill in the northern suburbs of Cork. This site is located outside the northern end of the zone of archaeological potential surrounding Cork city and was occupied by a number of modern warehouses prior to the commencement of development. The stratigraphy consisted of a shallow deposit of modern overburden overlying the sandstone bedrock. There were no archaeological features or finds recorded during testing at this site.
