Archaeology Notes

NS24SE 22 270 419.

The present mansion of Arderd (NS 270 419) does not occupy the position of the original manor house. In ancient times the estate of Ardeed belonged to the Coninghames of Auchenhervie, but it was purchased from them in 1708 by the Rev Patrick Warner and remains in the family of his descendants.

A H Millar 1885

Local enquiries failed to locate the site of the old Ardeer House.

Dobie writes that "Ard-Dyir which appears on Aitken's map of 1829 as Ardens close upon the sea shore would now be nearly a mile inland." (Aitken's map was not available at the British Museum).

J Dobie 1876

On examination of Aitken's 1829 Map of Ayrshire, it is evident that Dobie is referring to the frontispiece map of T Pont (1654), which, as stated, shows 'Ardens' on the coast between Dubbs (NS 285 421) and Nethermains (NS 306 420) on km NS 2942. (The later Ardeer House was entirely demolished about 1967).
