Initial archaeological investigations are currently underway.

Nothing of significance has been found so far, however we have discovered the foundations of some 18th and 19th Century buildings and related pottery shards. We will keep you updated with future posts.

Most of the above ground demolition at Riverside is now complete. The next stage is to lift the concrete floor slabs and remove processed material in advance of archaeological investigations. These should start on a portion of the site in the next few weeks.

The building at 77-81 High Street is at the location of Ayr’s medieval meal market. The first market building on this site was constructed in 1586, however there would have been a marketplace far pre-dating this. It remained a market until the 19th Century when it was open on Tuesdays and Fridays for the sale of ‘meal’ (Cereals). The Ayr Renaissance redevelopment of this building is bringing a formal marketplace back into the heart of auld Ayr.
