Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology was commissioned by Scottish Coal to carry out a series of archaeological works at Ponesk Remainder Site, East Ayrshire in advance of coal extraction. The work focussed on the abandoned 'Cairniebottom' settlement, which comprising a single long building and an attached enclosure. Historic maps consulted prior to an archaeological survey suggested that Cairniebottom was constructed after 1832 and was abandoned some time prior to 1895. The survey of Cairniebottom revealed the remains of a low NW-SE aligned turf-covered building representing a small farmhouse and attached enclosure. The building was formed by a low random rubble wall that presumably formed a base for a turf superstructure. To the northeast of the building was a low, spread bank roughly 42m long and up to 1.1m wide which could be traced further to the north as a well-faced wall. An evaluation demonstrated that the small single-phase farmhouse was constructed first with the byre being a later addition and that the walls of both buildings were constructed with turf lain over low stone walls. Although rubble was present around the wall-base, there were not sufficient quantities to suggest that the walls were built wholly of stone.
