Back in the 50's, workmen were putting in a drain down the hill from the High Road. Looking at the video, it would be from the top-left along the end wall leading down to Boglemart St. They discovered two Iron-age cists. I'm sure there will be reports about it somewhere.
The workers discovered the first one and reported it so that the archaeologists could investigate. That held them up for weeks. When they got back to work, apparently the workmen discovered a second one within hours and put the bulldozer through it so as not to lose any more time.

Garnock East, a former storage area for the old factory, just across the Garnock from Stevenston. Part of Garnock East is within the Stevenston parish boundary; most of it, however, is in Irvine.

In the first few seconds, it’s a field of grass that looks like snow. In the rest of the video, it’s acres and acres of bulrushes – Garnock East is for the most part a large wetland. As Bonzo says, the dry summer might have made the vegetation even browner than it usually would be.

After getting a shot of the Plantation from Ardrossan South Beach, I thought I’d take some drone footage over the beach itself.

That is a great video, Iain. at the 3:38 mark there is a car at the round about seems to have lost its way - or was he blocking the car behind him? :wink: :roll:

Well spotted, Hughie! How strange. And how frustrating that the drone panned away before the situation was resolved. I think you're right: the most parsimonious explanation is probably that the car took a wrong turn.

What are those strange key shapes cut in the grass at the end of the video, Iain ? And what is that blue shape that looks like a pond ( but I'm sure isn't ) ?

The key shapes are for the crazy golf and I think the blue is the swing park.

Susan, George Ardrossan posted a photo of the swing park a few years ago in another thread (http://www.threetowners.net/forum/viewt ... 731#p89649). I 'quote' the photo below:
