In 1961 a Cordoned Urn and a Cinerary Urn (HM L.1961.1 and L.1961.2) were found on a housing estate adjacent to Coalpots Road, Girvan; both vvere inverted and contained cremations, and the Cordoned Urn was probably associated with two flint scrapers (HM A.1961.10 and A.1961.14). Excavation subsequently revealed a total of thirteen pits
of probable prehistoric date; one (4m to the SSE) contained numerous fragments of calcined bones, another (7m to the NNE) one fragment of burnt bone and a few sherds of a similar fabric to the urns.
