Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group following the discovery of significant archaeology during a previous evaluation at Weirston Road, Kilwinning, North Ayrshire. The excavation consisted of the monitored topsoil strip of a 3800 m2 area in the western half of the development site. At least four ring groove structures and several palisaded enclosure ditches were revealed within the excavation area. The structures range in size from 12 m to 16 m in diameter, with two clearly distinctive styles in use. The main entrances to the structures all face south east with three of the structures consisting of an opposing north west entrance as well. This distinctive style of ring groove structure is comparable with other structures in the west of Scotland that date to the Iron Age. Along with the structures and enclosures there were over 150 other pit and/or post hole features within and out with the structures and enclosures. Two of these pits produced several flint flakes, a horseshoe scraper and pottery fragments that have comparisons with the Late Neolithic period. Possible iron slag was also found within a pit that could indicate industrial processes taking place near to the site.
