This paper describes the excavation of an unenclosed ring-groove house at Ardgowan Rise, Inverkip, Inverclyde. The remains were identified during an archaeological evaluation carried out prior to development of the site, and comprised a timber-built structure, defined by two sections of ring-groove and postholes, along with interior and exterior features. While material from most of the structural components and from the hearth has been radiocarbon dated to the Mid-Bronze Age, other features indicate use of the site during the Mesolithic and Early Bronze Age. Some evidence for later agricultural use of the site was also uncovered
