"Bishop Fordham granted licence to Thomas de Gretham, rector of Ryton, to carry an aqueduct from Southwell through the bishop's ground to the rectory. Bishop Skirlaw confirmed the grant to John Burgh, Gretham's successor, in 1405".(1) If South Well can be located then it would be possible to calculate a grid reference, and perhaps find the whole thing just on one map, perhaps NZ 16 SE. Dated C14th.

Two flint leaf-shaped arrowheads were found on the surface of a ploughed field behind Emma Colliery in 1954, and given to the Museum of Antiquities by the Rev. L.T. Johnson, The Manse, Ryton. Both are on display in the Museum. 1958.8: dark grey-brown translucent flint, almost transparent at the edges. Tip broken off. 1958.9: pale grey translucent flint.

In his Site 9, a field SW of Shorty Croft, near Stargate, Cocks found a "brown flint, snapped off point of arrow head. Secondary flaking on all sides". 22 mm x 18 mm. No. 3.

In the summer of 1939 the fine top stone of a beehive quern was recovered from the bed of the Tyne "a little above the Ferry House", and became part of the Cocks Collection. No. 9 in his list of "Objects of probable prehistoric origin". The above grid reference is that given by Cocks to the O.S.

Cocks found behind the Ryton cricket pavilion a "brownish flint tapering flake broad end worked to convex scraper one long side blunted". 41 mm x 20 mm. No. 374.

In Park Field, Ryton, Cocks found a "mottled honey coloured flint chip, white skin on 1 edge, worked as a hollow scraper". 38 mm x 25 mm. No. 238.

A flint axe was found in 1917 about 50 yards west of the cist burial (SMR 518-520), and in 1959 was noted by the O.S. as being in the possession of Mrs. Wheatley, Ash Tree Farm, Chopwell. Cocks made a cast of it, and this measured 92 mm x 38 mm x 22 mm. Was Miket's drawing of the cast, and is this now with the rest of the Cocks Collection in the Museum of Antiquities? The drawing suggests the axe was a roughout.

In 1939 Cocks found, on his Site 6, a cup marked stone c. 40 yards SW of Tweedys Buildings, Ryton, where it had been re-used in making a land drain. Of coarse sandstone, its maximum length was 380 mm, and it bore 3 cups, which ranged in diameter from 41 - 63 mm, and in depth from 15 - 19 mm. The "tool pockings" were very distinct in the cups. No. 2 in his list of "Sculptured Stones" in his notebook. Presumably with the rest of the Cocks Collection in the Museum of Antiquities.

In 1934, on his Site 5 at Woodside, Cocks found a cup and ring marked stone built into the stone facing of a clay wall, the decorated surface being on the outside. He gave its dimensions as 737 mm x 559 mm x 381 mm, and described it thus: "The stone bears one "cup and ring" with four radial ducts...There are also ten plain cups of circular form; one cup with a deep conical duct; and one large cup which appears to have been formed by uniting two circular cups. All shew the tool marks of manufacture". No. 1 in his list of "Sculptured Stones" in his notebook.

There were four scrapers among the six flints Cocks found on this site, nos. 339-342.
