context_page_description: The hamlet of Auchentiber is in North Ayrshire, Parish of Kilwinning, Scotland. Auchentiber is 4 miles NE of Kilwinning on the Lochlibo Road, 2.2 miles from the hamlet of Burnhouse and 2.6 miles from the village of Barrmill. Grid Ref. NS3647. Some new housing has been built, but the settlement is still very much a hamlet. The settlement is on the Lugton Water, which runs into the River Garnock after running through Montgreenan and Eglinton Country Park in Irvine.
context_section_description: In 1507 a nominal fine is next inflicted on a Cuthbert Robisoune, farmer in Auchentiber, for an assault committed on one of his neighbours and upon the son. The latter he had cast into the fire, burning him severely. The fine was five merks.
  The old estate of Montgreenan is now a hotel, about 1.2 miles (1.9 km) away towards Torranyard.
  The ruin of Auchenharvie Castle is a prominent feature of this flat landscape in the Torranyard area.
  A smithy is marked on the 1860 OS map on the 'hamlet' side of the crossroads and the relatively unchanged building is still present today (2007), the roof has since collapsed (2008). The site of the old hamlet school is now occupied by modern buildings.
  Bloak Moss has been scientifically investigated to ascertain its vegetational history through the analysis of core samples.
  Steven states that a 'village' called Bloak with about twelve families existed in 1842, with its own school. It was near the Bloak or salt well.
  A few springs or tibers are still visible as the source of small burns running into the Glazert beyond Wardlaw farm.
