A programme of archaeological test trenching was carried out at the location of a proposed residential development site at Cork Road in the townland of Knockbrogan, Bandon, County Cork.
The works entailed the archaeological excavation of 23 trenches with a combined length of 1,125m, some of which targeted anomalies identified from a geophysical survey (detection device licence 23R0537) that was undertaken at the site.
Natural subsoil was identified at a depth of between 0.2m and 0.65m below modern surface level within the excavated trenches. Twelve of the trenches targeted anomalies that had been identified from the geophysical survey of the site, though none of these anomalies were found to relate to archaeological features. While evidence of agricultural activity was revealed in all of the excavated trenches, nothing of archaeological significance was encountered during the testing programme.
