The area of the market was centrally located. Reference to the 'Marketgate' in the 1323/4 grant indicates a fairly early existence for a market at Irvine. The meal and flesh markets were both latterly located on the north side of High Street to the east of the tolbooth, or near the site of the present town hall. The meal market was built of stone taken from the market cross (NS33NW 4) which was removed in 1694. Both the tron and flesh market were standing in 1860.
