Series: Tyne and Wear Museum unpublished report series

The site contained five main areas of archaeological interest within a wider area devoid of evidence for past activity. The well-preserved remains of a 19th century colliery row were recorded along the proposed access route. Trenches were excavated through the township boundary although no dating evidence was forthcoming. Wall footings from a post-medieval farm were encountered, with ditches and a slot or gully to the north that possibly predated this. Two possible prehistoric ditches and a pit were also recorded, with environmental evidence suggesting a prehistoric or Roman date. [Au(adp)]
