Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A programme of archaeological mitigation works was required by RSK Environment Ltd on behalf of their clients in respect to the construction of the Hunterston Converter and Substation, West Kilbride, North Ayrshire (N/11/00708/PPPM). Initial investigation works identified four areas of interest (A-D). Further works were carried out in these areas consisting of Strip, Map and Sample exercises and monitoring. Works also included an intrusive evaluation and a Historic Building Recording of Goldenberry Farm. The Historic Building Recording was carried out on the 3rd December 2013, due to the unsafe state of the buildings the survey was carried out at a safe distance. The HBR observed that it was possible to establish that the core of the surviving structure was consistent with the courtyard farm shown on historic mapping and that there was no evidence of earlier structures on the site, something which was already alluded to by the map evidence. The farm had been remodelled in the late 19th or early 20th century, when additional structures were built against the exterior elevation of the NW range, and a one-storey extension added to the rear, external SW elevation of the farmhouse. Though it was not possible to examine the interior of the farm buildings, it is likely that use remained consistent throughout the farm's occupation, with a reliance on the raising of livestock (in particular cattle) and, potentially, dairying. It seems likely the original structure was remodelled and augmented as part of an ongoing process of change and expansion (reflecting, presumably, a successful agricultural concern which was able to invest in new structures and technologies as required) which stretched from the earliest days of occupation right through to the recent period.
