This World War One battery site lies just west of Souter lighthouse. It consisted of a turret mounting Two 12 inch guns with extensive underground works to accommodate operating mechanisms, crew nd ammunition. There were also above ground buildings for signalling and control. The turret and guns were removed in 1924, but the underground works were refurbished for use as an ammunition store during World War Two. The site has since been largely quarried away.

A possible enclosure appears on an aerial photograph taken by B.K.S. Surveys in 1981. (This may be related to HER ref. 4844)

A medieval bronze belt tag was found by a resident of Whitburn in 1992 and inspected by Tyne and Wear Museums personnel. The finder retained the item.

A number of medieval metal items have been found at Glebe Farm, Moor Lane, Whitburn by a resident of Whitburn. These items were inspected by Tyne and Wear Museums personnel in 1992. A silver finger ring was found 250 yards south of the main farm building, where the land had been ploughed to a depth of 1 foot. Other items found at the farm include a rectangular buckle, 2 bronze studs, a bronze disc, bronze plaque, and a bronze belt buckle. All date from the period between the 12th and 14th centuries.

A stone ball was found by a National Trust Warden in 1993 while digging holes to reset the cliff top at Frenchman's Bay. The ball was inspected by Tyne and Wear Museums personnel and found to be man-made, fashioned from lava, probably from the Eiffel district. It weighed 11 ounces and had a diameter of 2.5 inches, making it suitable for a small calibre gun. Stone balls of this type were used during the period 1500 – 1600 A.D, the time of the Spanish Armada. The item donated to Tyne and Wear Museums.

Ridge and furrow is shown to the north of Kibblesworth village on an aerial photograph of August 1974. At least part of this has now been built over.

A honey brown leafshaped flint arrowhead of Neolithic date was found in a garden at Hill Street, New Silksworth, Sunderland in August 1996. It was inspected by Tyne and Wear Museums personnel.

Approximately 50 pieces of worked flint wsere found in October - December 1978 in soil dumps after surface stripping for new houses. Most were of poor quality, largely split and trimmed pebbles. The better quality flint included a small round scraper of red/brown mottled flint 20 mm in diameter, a large grey blade, trimmed along one edge, and a arrowhead, 22 mm long of approximately transverse type in brown flint. 3 or 4 small cores of circa 30 metres in length were also recovered. The flint has a generally Neolithic appearance. A quantity of black pottery was found in the same field and when the field was stripped, a number of features, dark patches, roughly circular in shape and 0.5 metres to 1 metre across, appeared in the subsoil in the south-west corner. These were not investigated and the site has now been destroyed by housing. The finds remained in the possession of the finder.

A well found at St. Anthony's Tar Works, Walker was built in English garden wall bond brickwork with a stone capping stone and stone capping on the two side walls. The capping stone had the remains of iron railings at the front end. It measured 0.90 metres across the front, 1.07 metres deep and 2.3 metres high internally. A thick accretion of tar covered all the walls near water level.
