Abstract:		 An intermittent watching brief was undertaken during large-scale improvements to the streetscape in ten areas located around Main Street and Abbeygate, Kilwinning. Much of the area comprised made ground which had itself been subject to major disturbance through the laying of service tracks from the 19th century onwards. Three structural elements were identified, including a cobbled surface, a stretch of sandstone walling with adjacent kerb, and a second stretch of walling which represented a superseded street frontage. In only one location was an undisturbed original ground surface identified. This lay immediately adjacent to the 19th century gateway to abbey grounds and church which exits into Main Street. A 'U'-sectioned linear feature running E-W and measuring 0.6m wide was identified here. It predated the boundary wall, and was severely truncated by later service trenches and other features. It revealed no artefactual remains and therefore its date and function must remain uncertain.
