Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief and subsequent excavation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group during the initial topsoil strip related to construction of a housing development at Altonhill (Phase 11), Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire. The watching brief was targeted over the location of a known farmstead depicted on the mid-19th century Ordnance Survey. The watching brief encountered the remains of the structures depicted on the Ordnance Survey, and uncovered later additional buildings, a well, areas of cobbled courtyard, and areas of roughly laid farm yard surfaces. The excavations have shown that the original farm buildings most likely date to the 18th century, consisting of two separate structures that were joined together by 19th century extensions. Furthermore, the wide entrances, the lack of internal walls and the presence of large foundation pads suggest the main structure may have been a large barn or working shed rather than a dwelling.
