Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological mitigation works was carried out for the National Trust for Scotland in support of groundworks for additional carparks at Home Farm and Hillhead, Culzean, South Ayrshire. The archaeological works were designed to mitigate any adverse impact on the archaeological remains within the development areas. The archaeological mitigation works comprised three elements: an open area excavation at Home Farm followed by archaeological monitoring, and archaeological monitoring at Hillhead. At Home Farm, three postholes and a shallow V section ditch were located. While these expanded the suite of features located by the evaluation (two postholes in Trench 7) they did not resolve into a coherent site. The subsequent archaeological monitoring of the groundworks did not reveal further features. Throughout the work a low density of lithics was recovered, in keeping with the previous evaluation (both test pits and trenching). At Hillhead a single struck lithic was recovered from the ground surface prior to works. No features of archaeological significance were revealed during the monitoring. On balance, no coherent sites were revealed during the works, though the low density of features and artefacts in the vicinity of Home Farm suggest that the development may have been on the periphery of a site. Alternatively, the intensity of agricultural (especially arable) activity has damaged the archaeological strata to such an extent that a coherent interpretation is not possible.
