Roman Temporary Camp and prehistoric enclosure, 200m SW and 190m ENE of Girvan Mains farm in Ayrshire, Scotland, is a complex archaeological site comprising two distinct periods of ancient activity. The Roman temporary camp represents military infrastructure from the period of Roman campaigns in northern Britain, likely dating to the first or second century AD, whilst the prehistoric enclosure indicates settlement or ritual activity from an earlier period. The site's dual occupation reflects the long span of human activity in this region of south-west Scotland. The precise physical characteristics and survival condition of the remains at this location require specialist archaeological survey for full assessment.
