Abstract:		 Archaeological excavation works were undertaken as part of a programme of works in support of the proposed expansion of the Auchrannie Spa Resort, Brodick, Arran. These works focussed on the Phase 1 extension of the accommodation block at the western end of the resort. The purpose of the works was to fully excavate the remaining elements of the archaeological features previously exposed and partially excavated during the initial construction of the current accommodation block. These features comprised various elements of a potential Iron Age settlement. These elements consisted of two roundhouses and a souterrain. The focus of these works was to excavate the souterrain and the southern half of the larger roundhouse. The souterrain was found to be more complex than had been previously believed, consisting of a series of separate passages and pits with both stone-lined and timber-lined sections potentially present. The southern half of the roundhouse did not appear to have survived as well as the rest of the elements on site, with only a few pits and small postholes remaining in discrete areas across the site. While no overall structural pattern was could definitely be discerned, some sections of potential alignments could be suggested. Finds from the site included a fragmentary saddle quern from within one of the souterrain passages, and some worked lithics, perforated stone weights and unworked pitchstone from amongst the other features. As well as the prehistoric features, the works also revealed more recent features including a series of agricultural furrows relating to the use of the land for agriculture up until the 19th century.
