GUARD undertook archaeological trial trenching of sites related to the extractive industries of East Ayrshire in May to June 2006. The project was jointly funded by Historic Scotland and GUARD. Nine trenches were excavated across two sites. These trenches uncovered a variety of features, including walls, floors and domestic deposits, relating to two occupation sites dating from the mid-18th to mid-19th centuries.
