Previous archaeological works in 2017 at Weirston Road, Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, revealed prehistoric activity ranging from the Neolithic to the Middle Iron Age. Subsequent excavation by the author has demonstrated that Iron Age settlement activity continues to the south into land associated with Corsehillhead Farm, Kilwinning. The new works revealed the continuation of a previously identified Iron Age enclosure ditch, as well as ancillary features of similar date. While lacking in artefactual remains, these works demonstrate the extensive nature of this prehistoric settlement, strengthen the dating evidence previously recorded, and add to understanding of evidence prehistoric occupation and cultivation activity at this site, and regionally.
