Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological investigative works was required by Ayr Renaissance LLP in respect of the development of the Riverside Block, Ayr. The archaeological works were designed to determine the archaeological potential of the development area and hence inform the specification for mitigation of the impact on the archaeological remains. The archaeological investigative works consisted of an intrusive evaluation which was designed to assess a sample of the proposed development area, undertaken after the demolition of the upstanding buildings on site. The works were carried out between 31st July and 12th September 2017 with 25 trenches excavated in total. 13 test pits were also excavated to investigate the deposits present at greater depths. While the features and artefacts revealed by the evaluation were dominated by 18th to 20th century material, modest quantities of artefacts from the 13th century onwards were recovered showing surviving strata including medieval and post-medieval layers.
