Abstract:		 A programme of works was carried out in respect to the demolition of a set of external stairs and the installation of new drainage at Kilwinning Old Parish Church, North Ayrshire. The archaeological works were designed to mitigate the impact on the archaeological remains within their development area to the agreement of Historic Environment Scotland. Kilwinning Old Parish Church stands within the Scheduled Monument protecting the remains of Kilwinning Abbey, though the fabric of the church itself is listed rather than scheduled. Historic Scotland granted Scheduled Monument Consent for the drainage works was conditional on excavation of a small archaeological test pit which would help inform the nature of the archaeology present within the area of the proposed drainage works followed by a watching brief of the reduction of the area prior to a new gravel surface being laid down. The test pit and watching brief identified a number of modern gravel and concrete layers overlaying a nineteenth or twentieth century brick cellar which had been backfilled possibly in the mid twentieth century with other more recent disturbance relating to maintenance of the churches water pipes. A number of 19th or 20th century artefacts were recovered from the two lowest layers within the test pit as well as disarticulated fragments of human bone. No other significant archaeological features or artefacts were recovered from the test pit.
