Abstract
BGS has been asked by Patrick Murray, acting on behalf of Ardrossan Castle Heritage Society, to examine a stone coffin known as The Ardrossan Sarcophagus (Figure 1). The sarcophagus, which is presently housed at North Ayrshire Heritage Centre in Saltcoats, is believed to date from medieval times. Ardrossan Castle Heritage Society are conducting research to identify the origins of the sarcophagus, and to explore its historical background and significance.
