Drybridge is thus named because of the "dry bridge" over the Kilmarnock and Troon Railway, opened in 1812.
The standing stone at Stane Field (NS 359 364), Drybridge, is the only one recorded for this local authority area.
In this area are a cursus, henge, several sites of flint flake deposits and a twin concentric circle structure.
There used to be a school/church here, which spent many years as a pallet makers workshop and store before recently being replaced by houses.
The railway which the "dry bridge" carried still exists and is still in use; Drybridge station has been converted into housing.
