1 Map 12: Ayrshire Coast: Doonfoot Beach to Dunure Map Content Descriptions 1. Built Heritage and Archaeology A total of twenty three sites were located in the area covered by Map 12. Of these seventeen were previously recorded and six were new sites noted during the field survey. This area included the scheduled remains of Dunure Castle (A69) and the related Listed Harbour (A63) and Doocot (A70). The foundations of a small building and a related midden (A62) were recorded west of Fisherton. The heads of Ayr appears to form a focus for possible prehistoric sites. The remains are, in many cases, unsubstantiated. There exists a clear distinction in terms of the sites found in this area compared to those located to the north. The area is more rural compared to the heavily built up sections of the Ayrshire Coast to the north and, therefore, presents an environment more suited to the preservation of archaeological remains from before the industrial period. 2. Hinterland Geology, Coastal Geomorphology and Erosion Class The section of coastline covered by Map 12 extended from Doonfoot to Dunure, an area including Heads of Ayr. The coastline dramatically changes south of Ayr. To the north of Ayr the coast is characterised by large sand bays and low coast edges. South of Ayr the coastline becomes dominated by cliff lines, rock platforms in the intertidal area and drift in the hinterland. The coastline here varies between high cliffs and lower areas in the shadow of these points. For example Heads of Ayr and Bracken Bay. The coastline becomes more rugged south of Bracken Bay to Dunure. The variety of coastline features leads to different erosional classes being present. They range from stable at Fisherton to erosional on the eastern flank of the Heads of Ayr where a large erosion face exists on the coast edge.

The Carwinshoch Burn flows into the western section of the bay, providing limited sediment to the foreshore. A Sewage works located at the mouth of the burn has been protected by a defensive gravel ramp. This extends from the burn s mouth to eastern limit of the caravan park. The beach material is mainly a veneer of sand over bedrock, which becomes visible at low tide. Slope deposits rise up from the emerged beach to the remains of Greenan Castle. 2 Heads of Ayr North NS km Cliff edge >5 m Glacio-genic (till) sediments, lie above the rock platform. The intertidal is composed of bedrock, with little or no sediments. 3 Heads of Ayr NS km Cliff edge >5 m The current shoreline has almost re-occupied the former emerged cliff line. Some vegetated slope deposits remain, dropping to rock platform, which contains limited pockets of shingle and sands. 4 Bracken Bay NS km Raised Beach A sand and shingle veneer covers bedrock foreshore. In the northern half of this section a flat area lies between the marram grasses and the emerged shoreline.
8 5 Fisherton North NS km Cliff edge >5 m This section of shoreline has high rock cliffs (>5 m) and a rock foreshore with isolated pockets of shingle. The cliffs have a veneer of vegetated slope deposits and in places bare rocks protrude. The toe of slope continues onto rock platform close to at MHWS. Towards the north eastern limit of this section (almost at Bracken Bay) of this section there are a number of caves, some at current sea level and some relating to higher Holocene sea levels. 6 Fisherton NS km This section of the shoreline is characterised by a low rock cliff line (<= 5 m), which joins the rock foreshore. Isolated pockets of sediment are found in coastal inlets. 7 Dunure House NS km Mainly sand Raised Beach A sand and shingle bay extends from the harbours masonry wall in front of Dunure house to a rock headland at the northern limit of the section. A cement sea wall is protecting the driveway of Dunure house. Sediment is present at the foot of the sea wall. 8 Dunure Harbour NS km Raised Beach The harbour has been constructed within the rock foreshore and low cliffs approximately 3 m. The harbour has incorporated natural rock in addition to masonry sections to the north. 9 Dunure NS km Cliff edge >5 m Rock platform is present on the foreshore, with isolated pockets of shingle. A near vertical rock cliff approximately 5 m tall is capped by slope deposits. The Castle is built on a rock knoll, which could be an old sea stack. North of the castle there is a small shingle beach, which lies between the Castle and a Rock outcrop which forms part of the harbour.

A Sewage works located at the mouth of the burn has been protected by a defensive gravel ramp (Plate 13). Beyond these defences the coastal edge remains moderately stable, with vegetated slopes onto the beach. 2 Heads of Ayr North NS km ST: Erosional Medium A near vertical cliff has been cut into the glacio-genic (till) sediments, which lie above the rock platform. The cliff is 4 m high at the western edge, which gently slopes to ground level towards the southeast(plate 13). 3 Heads of Ayr NS km LT: Erosional low ST: Stable - Low Vegetated slope deposits remain at the base of the cliff indicating some amount of stability at present. 4 Bracken Bay NS km ST: Stable - Low A sand and shingle veneer covers bedrock foreshore which forms a stable sand beach, fixed with marram grass. In the northern half of this section a flat area lies between the marram grasses and the emerged shoreline. 5 Fisherton North NS km ST: Stable - Low The cliffs have a veneer of vegetated slope deposits and in places bare rocks protrude. The toe of slope continues onto rock platform close to at MHWS. Indicating a level of stability at present.
11 6 Fisherton NS km ST: Erosion/Stable - Low Some erosional faces are present at the foot of the vegetated slopes. 7 Dunure House NS km ST: Erosional - moderate A cement sea wall is protecting the driveway of Dunure house. Sediment is present at the foot of the sea wall, which shows no current signs of undercutting. However there is a little distance between MHWS and the wall. The remaining beach can be described in two sections; the section closest to the seawall is currently eroding (erosional nick is 5-10 m long, Plate 12). However the northern section of the beach is currently stable with vegetation fringing the beach and no signs of undercutting. This contrast in stability exemplifies the balance between local erosion feeding local accretion. 8 Dunure Harbour NS km ST: Stable - Low The harbour is currently stable. 9 Dunure NS km ST: Stable/Erosional - Low The long-term status of this shoreline is an erosional section but currently it is stable. The Castle is built on a rock knoll, which could be an old sea stack; irrespective of its genesis it is showing no signs of being undercut. A small stable shingle beach exists to the north of the Castle has gentle vegetated slopes backing onto some houses.
