Ridge and furrow is visible in this area on aerial photographs but is heavily degraded. A low bank ran north-east from Castle Hill Farm. This is a remnant of the strip-field system in use before 1794 and marks the point where north-south ploughed strips met east-west strips. The boundary is evident on the 1794 enclosure plan.

Description
A cobbled 'raft' was seen in the east-facing section of a recently cut haul road in 1997. The raft was in a straight-sided and flat-bottomed foundation trench. The upper 0.2m had been truncated by ploughing. A flint flake was found at the base of the cobbles. The cobbles were not observed in the western facing section. Cobble rafts were commonly used in the medieval period as foundations for stone walls.

Golden Fleece Public House, built 1897, replacing earlier public house. One of the two sheep carvings on the doorcases survives. The original pub had a single long bar counter which served five small sitting rooms and a bar via corridors and hatches. In 1850 the landlord of the Golden Fleece was Thomas Robson. Before the turn of the 20th century James Deuchar took it over and rebuilt the pub. Constructed of red brick and terracotta under tiled roof, designed by W & T R Milburn of Sunderland. South-west fa硤e (front); two gable ends divided by first floor balcony, two doors both in right hand gable, third on left hand corner where first floor is jettied. Large multi-paned arched window between doors in right hand gable, three large multi-paned square windows to left, all separated by wooden pilasters with scrolled tops.

The designers of the building were theatre designers (Empire Music Hall in South Shields, 1898-9 and Empire Theatre, Sunderland 1907), and this is reflected in the decorative treatment, especially the first floor balcony which resembles a theatre box. The Milburn interior had two sitting rooms, a buffet and an L-shaped bar facing Clive Street. The bar was split into three areas by screens. The interior has been lost to 20th century modernisation.
