Abstract:		 Additional archaeological works were undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on land proposed for residential development at Greenan, Ayr, South Ayrshire (centred NGR: NS 3140 1877). The additional archaeological works comprised two broad areas of monitored top-soil stripping amounting to approximately 4 ha of the total Phase 1 site area (8.4 hectares). These two areas incorporated the archaeological features revealed in the previous evaluation works undertaken in 2010. The additional works revealed a further 31 archaeological features. These were largely isolated pits and post-holes of probable prehistoric date. The pits included fire-pits and stone filled examples. A single structure was identified in the form of a large pit with an associated supers-structure of six surrounding post-holes. Lithics and decorated pottery sherds of probable Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date were recovered from the structure. Two linear boundary ditch remnants were also identified. As the works were conducted over known lithic scatters of probable Mesolithic/Neolithic date. A further 35 lithics were retrieved from both stratified and un-stratified contexts. These included a Neolithic Langdale Axe fragment and two hammer-stones.
