Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group prior to a residential development on Weirston Road, Kilwinning, North Ayrshire. The evaluation consisted of 600 linear metres of trenching throughout the development area. The topsoil on site was a ploughed dark grey clay loam overlying orange and purplish grey clay in the majority of the site, with an orange gravel and clayey sand nearer the western edge. This sand and gravel subsoil was associated with a slightly raised area in the SW corner. Upon this rise, a number of potentially prehistoric features were revealed that are suggestive of a prehistoric settlement. The majority of the features were linear and curvilinear ditches that varied from wide and slightly curved stone filled ditches to narrower, curving ditches that could represent enclosures and possible structures respectively. A few pits or post hole features were also revealed that further indicate the presence of structures within the site.
