NS 302 431 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on a site close to the remains of Kilwinning Abbey (NMRS NS34SW 6). The evaluation took the form of trial trenching in the garden area of a private house destined for redevelopment. A broad V-profiled ditch, 3-4m wide and approximately 1.5m deep, was recorded aligned E-W across the northern part of the site. One large and two smaller pieces of worked timber were recovered from waterlogged deposits within the ditch fill.
A subsequent watching brief on the excavation for the building foundations and access road footings further revealed the extent of the ditch and identified a terminus.
Report to be lodged with the NMRS (MS/1081/6)
