Archaeological Evaluation (24 November 2014 - 2 December 2014)
(Centred on NS 35490 17907) An archaeological evaluation was undertaken prior to the construction of a residential development at Corton, South Ayrshire. The evaluation required a 5% trenching sample of development areas C and D. A total of 70 trenches of varying lengths and alignments were excavated encountering a few agricultural furrows and field drains. No significant archaeological features or artefacts were revealed. No further works are considered necessary within the development area.

Archaeological Evaluation (25 June 2015 - 26 July 2015)
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Geddes Consulting, on behalf of their client, to undertake a programme of archaeological works at Corton, Ayr. The areas evaluated comprised a plot of land to the NE of the junction where the A77 and A79 meet as well as an area directly across the A77 that was formerly excluded from previous evaluation works due to the presence of otters (NS 34898 18274). Eight linear trenches totalling 730m sq were excavated throughout the two areas. No archaeological features or artefacts were encountered throughout the evaluation. The railway embankment next to the road junction was also recorded where it had been previously disturbed and partly excavated. The embankment consists of over 3m of orange clay and stone, and contains ceramic tile field drainage throughout. The clay has then been overlain by up to 1m of imported topsoil with an abundance of trees and bushes growing over the entire structure.
