In 1898, during excavations for Cooper's horse repository south of the General Post Office on the north side of Westgate Road, an amphora was recovered. It was of cream-coloured or reddish earthenware, with slight horizontal flutings and a pointed bottom. Its dimensions were: height 1 foot 2 inches; diameter at mouth 2.5 inches; circumference at widest part 1 foot 9 inches. It was exhibited to the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle by William Smith of Gunnerton, and in 1931 was donated to the Society.

In 1951 F.G. Simpson recorded the recovery of 2 sherds of Roman samian ware pottery in a gasmain trench 8 - 8.5 feet down on the north-east side of Westgate Road, opposite the Sun Life Office.

In the course of the campaign by the North of England Excavation Committee to locate the Roman fort in Newcastle a shaft was dug, probably in 1929 by F.G. Simpson, "south of the railway in the yard on the east side of Clavering House". It produced Roman occupation earth and pottery.

In 1951/2 F.G. Simpson dug a shaft between St. Nicholas Street and the railway archway connecting Clavering Place to Westgate Road, just east of his shaft of 1929 (HER ref. 1453). He found roof tiles as well as more Roman pottery (see also HER ref. 1454).

In 1951/2 F.G. Simpson dug a shaft between St. Nicholas Street and the railway archway connecting Clavering Place to Westgate Road, just east of his shaft of 1929 (HER ref. 1453). He again found Roman pottery, and also roof tiles.

In 1929 a shaft was dug (presumably by F.G. Simpson) "north of the railway at the junction of Westgate Road and the roadway tunnel leading to Clavering Place...". It produced "Roman occupation earth and pottery". It was found very close to HER ref. 1454-1455.

In 1903, while a site was being excavated for Robinsons' new warehouse on the east side of Clavering Place, two stone coffins were uncovered, both about 4 feet long. The first contained a Roman castor-ware beaker, and some human bones. The latter had been disturbed after discovery. Rich wrote, "Strewn on the bottom of the coffin were some bones of a skull, and what appeared to be ribs, but none of the bones of the legs, arms, or vertebrae. Some small remnants of charcoal were found at the foot of the coffin". Because the coffin measured c.3.5 x 1.5 feet internally he concluded it was the burial of a young person. The beaker, decorated with "slip ornament in relief", measured 4.24 inches high, and had the diameters of 1.5 inches+ at the rim, 3.5 inches at the centre, and 1inch+ at the base.

Within the remains of the medieval Gunner Tower, on the south side of Pink Lane, and lying in an ash-filled hollow in the layer above the subsoil, there was a pot containing a cremation. The pot emerged in many fragments which made up the greater part of a jar or cooking pot in light reddish-brown sandy fabric. In form and fabric it is of a type commonly found on the eastern third of Hadrian's Wall, from contexts ranging from the second quarter of 2nd century to the early 4th century A.D. The calcined bones consisted of fragments of the skull, tibia and fibula. It was concluded that the remains were those of a person of undetermined sex and of c.18 years of age. In addition were found "five fragments of a beaker in fine white-bodied fabric with very dark colour-coating, decorated with "rouletting", dating from the 2nd 0r 3rd century

Over most of the area excavated to reveal the Carmelite Friary 2, west of Clavering Place and south of Forth Street, "there was a layer of brown clay which contained Roman pottery" of the 2nd-3rd centuries A.D. and which sealed features, some of which may have been the remains of structures. One was a possible north- south construction trench; elsewhere there was a pile of cobbles, 3 courses deep. No Roman burials were found.

Over most of the area excavated to reveal the Carmelite Friary "there was a layer of brown clay which contained Roman pottery", and which sealed features which may have been the remains of structures. The pottery included fragments of cooking-pots, bowls, beakers, a colander, mortaria, jars, amphorae and samian ware, and was considered to date from the 2nd-3rd centuries A.D.
