Archaeology Notes

NX19NE 63 18516 95744

An old whinstone quarry depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ayrshire 1858, sheet lv), 100m SE of the top of Shalloch Hill, has been recorded as an oval cropmark. A network of linear cropmarks immediately to the S represent field boundaries (NX19NE 48), and the cropmarks of a palisaded settlement (NX19NE 19) have been recorded on the hill-top itself.

Information from RCAHMS (KB) 22 June 1999

A second whinstone quarry, also depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ayrshire 1858, sheet lv), has been recorded as parchmarks on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 2000) lying about 170m E of the summit of Shalloch Hill.
