Abstract:		 An architectural watching brief was carried out by CFA during the demolition of a former byre at Hall of Auchencross Farm, near new Cumnock, Ayrshire. The demolition was carried out as part of the Wellhill Extension of the Greenburn Surface Mine. During an earlier historic building survey a series of carved stones including a heraldic plaque, a carved head and four moulded lintel stones were found built into the upper gable. It was recommended that an architectural watching brief be carried out during the demolition so that the carved head and other moulded stonework could be removed and recorded, and to identify if further re-used stonework was incorporated into the structure. Stone 1 was a probably a corbel with gargoyle head and was probably associated with supporting a roof of late medieval date. Stone 2 is a traditional marriage stone incorporating the initials CC and BC on either side of a heraldic shield. Stone's 3-6 are lintel or sill stones which were not identified in the NMRS report on the site. All six stones could have a 16th century date (Professor Charles McKean Pers Comm). and judging by the quality of the stonework they came from a structure of high status. It is therefore probable that they originated from the Auchencross Hall. The stonework is currently being stored undercover on the Kier Mining site and details will be submitted to the Treasure Trove Unit to agree on the final depository for the material. S Mitchell 2013.
