Aerial photographs taken in the 1940s show post-medieval narrow ridge and furrow earthworks. More recent aerial photography, taken primarily in the 1990s, shows that some of the earthworks are no longer extant. Some are built over and some are quarried although remnants of the sub-surface ridge and furrow was identified during a geophysical survey in 2015.

Description
Cramp (1984, 251) cites a reference by Honeyman (1932, 99) to a possible Anglo-Saxon slab carved with a pattern "in imitation of sea waves" that was formerly found at the north door of St. Nicholas's church, Newcastle. Both Bourne (1736) and Brand (1789) mention this stone, but it has not been seen in modern times.
