Abstract

Archaeological works at Weirston Road, Kilwinning, revealed prehistoric activity dating from the Neolithic to the Middle Iron Age. Iron Age settlement evidence includes numerous overlapping ring-groove structures with diametrically opposed entrances, representative of a regional roundhouse variant. While the Early to Middle Iron Age activity dominates the site, the finds assemblage includes Late Neolithic pottery and Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age lithic material, demonstrating new evidence for Neolithic activity in the area.
