"? linear feature...showing as a series of widely spaced pits aligned NNE - SSW". MPP classification: Linear feature / Single / Straight: smooth bend / pits / interrupted / Not linear system or enclosure / cross contour. A typical pit might measure 3 m across.

Two features, a small "ring ditch" apparently partly over a larger curvilinear enclosure. Ring ditch is 21m in diameter. Curvilinear enclosure is 10m in diameter. Circular enclosure and ring ditch with ?linear feature to the east showing as a series of widely spaced pits (HER 193). Rectangular cropmarks in north-west corner of same field. Function is unknown but there are several industrial shafts and spoil heaps known in this area.

Perhaps half a rectilinear ditched enclosure. MPP classification: Enclosure / Rectilinear / Symmetric / Rectangular / Not elongated / Straight sides 3 / Ditches 1 / Length 42 m / Breadth unknown / Incomplete / Internal features 0 / Entrances unknown. Perhaps cut by 190.

Probably part of a curvilinear ditched enclosure. MPP classification: Enclosure / Curvilinear / Symmetric? / Circular? / Not elongated / Ditches 1 / Diameter 126 m / incomplete / Internal features 0 / Entrances unknown. Perhaps cut 191.
In 1996 the curvilinear enclosure was explored in a targeted evaluation conducted by the Archaeological Practice, University of Newcastle. A curvilinear ditch was identified in trenches 1 and 3. The ditches excavated are interpreted as being part of the same enclosure. The ditch ran NW-SW in trench 1 and measured 2.6m wide and 0.5m deep. In trench 3 the ditch is recorded to be less regular. No dating evidence was obtained from the ditch however the feature is suggested to be a prehistoric enclosure based upon its form and the presence of lithic scatters. Three pieces of flint were found in surface deposits one of which is identified as a Mesolithic obliquely-blunted microlith. Trench 2 was targeted within the enclosure and no archaeological features were identified except for plough furrows and a field drain. The absence of earlier features within this trench is suggested to indicate that the enclosure is not related to a settlement and could have been an animal enclosure.

Probable rectilinear ditched enclosure. MPP classification: Enclosure / Rectilinear / Symmetric / Rectangular / Not elongated / Corners angled / Straight sides 2 / Convex sides 1 / Ditches 1 / Length 47 m / Breadth 42 m + / Incomplete / Internal features 0 / Entrances 1 (terminal defined, aspect E) Note that the south side is not visible on the available aerial photo. If it was never there this whole classification and description would be invalid.

Fieldwalking by Dr Joan Weyman has produced mesolithic flints from the area around the barrow, and this collection is still growing. In 1984 Roger Miket reported that she had found 118 pieces "from the area of the barrow, and in particular the eastern side, close to the foot of the mound. These comprised four cores, one core trimming, one microburin, eight scrapers, two borers, and two fragments of microlith. The remainder were waste".

"Fine-grained limestone polished axe-head, of which only part of the blade end survives. Max. surviving length 850 mm, max. width 88 mm, max. thickness 35 mm". Found in the "barrow" by E. Sockett and its discovery recorded by the Museum of Antiquities. In 1991 it was donated to the Museum.

Over four dozen flints were picked up by J.A. Smythe and his companions, some time before the publication of his article in 1911, from the surface of the mound. They comprised "mesolithic cores, blades and flakes, plus unworked pieces. Only ten flints now survive. They comprise six waste flakes, three cores, one flake with minor retouch".

Round gravelly mound resting on boulder clay, 67 m in diameter, 6.2 m high. Its composition resembles "the Kirkley kaims, with the difference that limestone and whinstone are comparatively scarce; granite and porphyritic rocks are fairly plentiful". In 1966 a 10 foot deep hole in its top (date of digging unknown) revealed only glacial sand and gravel. It is therefore assumed, by most authorities, to be in origin a glacial kaim but, because worked flints and a polished stone axe have been found on its top, and others nearby, it may have had secondary use as a barrow. Greenwell believed it was a burial place, and it is scheduled as a "burial mound". Source 7 declares it has a ring ditch around it.

Great square-headed bronze brooch, found at or just off Whitehill Point on the north bank of the River Tyne, between Howdon and North Shields. Presented to the Society of Antiquaries by the River Tyne Commissioners 30 November 1982. Length 144 mm, width of headplate 53 mm, width of foot 41 mm max. In poor condition, edges corroded, and much of the decoration reduced by patination. Has been silvered or tinned. The brooch could have originated up-river of where it was found. Dated C7th.
