Abstract:		 Old House Point is situated approximately 1km to the north of the ferry port of Cairnryan. Prior to 1941 the site contained a cottage and the shed of the former Loch Ryan Oyster co. After 1941 the site became a military fabrication yard that was established to make cast concrete pier parts for the Cairnryan Military Harbour. In 1943 the site became one of several Mulberry Harbour yards in which various components of Mulberry were fabricated prior to being taken across the English Channel to Normandy following the D-Day landings. Systematic archaeological field survey and standing building recording was carried out prior to the proposed construction of a new ferry terminal. The work involved recording the position of the upstanding remains of a collection of features associated with the 1941 pile construction yard and the later Mulberry fabrication site on the shore of Loch Ryan. The remains of the pier fabrication yard comprised two rectilinear concrete casting beds each over 100m long and stockpiles of pier parts which lay abandoned on either side. One of six beetle craft was extensively surveyed and recorded. Various degraded building foundation blocks were also recorded. The cottage and a WW2 electric transformer block were afforded a Level 2 survey. In total forty-one features were recorded.
