Abstract:		 A trial trench evaluation was carried out at Duncanziemere, near Cumnock, East Ayrshire from 11th-18th April 2012. The work represented Phase 2 of an archaeological programme carried out in order to satisfy a condition of planning consent for the proposed extension to Laigh Glenmuir Surface Mine (planning reference 7/3/3/09/00511). Phase 1 was previously undertaken in June 2011 (Robertson 2011). A relatively small number of features were recorded during the course of the trial trenching. They predominantly consisted of drainage or boundary ditches, sealed by thin topsoil. An isolated pit containing abundant charcoal was also identified. Only two dateable finds were recovered during the evaluation; an unstratified sherd of 14th-16th century pot retrieved from topsoil and a 19th century sherd from a drainage ditch fill. These dates correlate with known settlement and activity in the area from both historic documentation and the results of the Phase 1 programme. The general sparsity of features reflects the low-level historic occupation of the landscape and the likelihood that post-medieval agricultural practices have reduced the potential for the survival of archaeological remains.
