A programme of archaeological monitoring works was required by the National Trust for Scotland for refurbishment works at Souter Johnnie's Cottage, Kirkoswald, South Ayrshire. These archaeological works were designed to mitigate any adverse impact on the archaeological remains within the development area. The works consisted of a series of four small test pits followed by the reduction of the floor of the cottages rear room by 0.37m. The test pits revealed a number of layers of flooring dating to the twentieth century or later, most likely part of an earlier programme of refurbishment at the cottage. No significant archaeological features or artefacts were identified.
