  In Nature the excited states of the hadron spectrum appear as resonances.
Consequently, there has been significant interest in studying the excited
baryon spectrum using lattice QCD. With this in mind we perform spectroscopic
calculations with five-quark interpolating fields. Stochastic estimation
techniques are used in order to calculate the loop propagators, with dilution
in spin, colour and time implemented as a means of variance reduction. We
present effective mass plots extracted from these five-quark interpolators, and
examine the contributions from fully-connected and loop-containing pieces of
the correlation function, keeping in mind their use in future corre- lation
matrix studies.
