Archaeology Notes

NS10NE 3 centred 196 072

There is a local tradition that near to Turnberry Castle (NS 196 072) there was a town of the same name, of which no vestige now survives.

W Macfarlane 1907.

Since the construction of a wartime airfield and Turnberry golf course the original undulating duneland has been transformed, and no trace of possible Medieval occupation is visible in the vicinity of the castle. From local information it was established that within living memory a farm and a group of cottages existed in area NS 197 071, but this is likely to have been 18/19th century occupation of which no trace now exists.

Visited by OS (JRL), 31 May 1977.
