Excavation at Shanbally 5, as part of the M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy Scheme,
Co. Cork, revealed a pit, a possible pit and a linear feature. Stage (iv) post-excavation analysis is still pending. Below is a preliminary bulletin.
The features were poorly defined and contained no artefacts. Charred grain form the pit suggest a possible prehistoric date. The linear feature truncated the pit indicating more than one phase of activity.
