Five test-trenches were excavated at the site of a proposed housing development at the junction of Upper Cattle Market Street and the Glen Ryan Road, in the Shandon/Blarney Street area of the city. Stratigraphy in the trenches consisted of 0.4–1.5m (depth of stratigraphy due to natural slope) of 19th/20th-century rubble over pink/brown stony, subsoil. The foundations of 19th-century artisan dwellings were recorded during monitoring of ground reduction. No archaeological finds or features were noted during testing.
