Abstract:		 GUARD Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Stuart Milne Homes to carry out the excavation of archaeological remains uncovered in 2007 during the evaluation of an area proposed for development at Ardgowan Rise, Inverkip, Inverclyde. The excavation recorded the remains of a timber-built prehistoric roundhouse of unknown date. The remains comprised two curvilinear ring-grooves that formed the exterior walls of the structure. The entrance to the roundhouse was at the south-east, where two large postholes marked the termini of the ring-grooves, and three further large postholes defined a possible 'porch' or extended entrance. A series of post-holes forming an incomplete circle within the interior of the structure would have supported the roof, and a hearth was located at the centre of the roundhouse. Evidence of internal partitioning, in the form of two linear cuts, was also found. Two large deposits of burnt material that contained daub or rough ceramic may be the remains of an occupation layer. Two further curvilinear ditches on the exterior of the roundhouse may have functioned as drainage, channelling rain-water away from the dwelling, and a second series of exterior postholes probably provided additional support to the roof.
