NS 3405 2165 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Kyle Street, in Ayr town centre, comprising the excavation of a series of linear trenches totalling 315m2 and representing a 1.5% sample of a proposed development area. The evaluation identified a number of negative features cut into sand deposits, within a discrete area of survival close to the street frontage of Kyle Street. The majority of the site had been heavily truncated. Pottery retrieved from the features includes post-medieval and 19th/20th-century pottery. No medieval features were uncovered. No other significant finds were recovered.
