Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out at Wellhill Farm and Hall of Auchincross Farm near New Cumnock as part of a programme of works associated with the Wellhill extension to the Greenburn Surface Mine Operation. Previous work undertaken on the site included a standing building survey of the farmsteads and the evaluation of the surrounding area. In addition to the walls and features related to the recently demolished farmsteads, the evaluation identified the remains of three walls at Wellhill Farm and an area of cobbling at Hall of Auchincross Farm. However, all of these features are considered to relate to the 19th century or later development of the farms. There was no evidence of any earlier settlement or activity either in terms of negative archaeological features or deposits. No finds were recovered and all of the observed material was found to be 19th or 20th century in date. Within the footprint of the farmsteads horizontal truncation appeared to have taken place as disturbed/made ground lay directly over the natural. This appears to have taken place as part of the site preparation prior to construction. As a result it is considered that archaeological remains or deposits relating to any potentially earlier settlement do not survive within the evaluation areas.
