Neolithic Pottery from Woodbridge Farm, the Old Airfield, Milfield	Clive Waddington	1 - 11	Further work on pottery recovered from domestic-type pits during evaluation trenching in 1992 has shown it to be Neolithic rather than Iron Age as previously thought. The pottery was Grimston Ware -- the earliest pottery tradition known in Britain -- and Late Neolithic Meldon Bridge Ware, and along with the pits and associated gully and postholes suggests this was an area of Neolithic settlement. Includes a referenced list of `Neolithic pottery sites in Northumberland'.
Causeways, at Milecastles, across the Ditch of Hadrian's Wall	Humphrey G Welfare	13 - 25
The Wall of Severus?	Thomas R Hornshaw	27 - 36	Re-examines historical and archaeological evidence for the dating of various aspects of Hadrian's Wall.
A Report on a Geophysical Survey of the Roman Fort and Vicus at Halton Chesters	J Alan Biggins David J A Taylor J A E Robinson	37 - 46	Geophysical survey of the vicus and southern part of the fort located buildings to either side of the road leading south out of the fort, which were seen to overlie earlier field systems. Buildings were identified between Hadrian's Wall and the Vallum, as well as between the south of the fort and the Vallum, which were almost certainly of military use.
Thirlings Building C: a Pagan Shrine?	Colm F O'Brien	47 - 49	Discusses the possibility of a sacred function for this rectangular building with an eastern annex, with reference to analogous structures at Yeavering and Cowdery's Down.
Medieval Cross Slab Grave Covers in Northumberland, 1: South West Northumberland	Peter F Ryder	51 - 110	Presents a catalogue of c. 250 slabs in the Deaneries of Bellingham, Corbridge and Hexham, all measured and drawn by the author between 1984--1999. Two future papers will cover material from other deaneries, concluding with an analysis and discussion of the carvings.
The Conservation and Study of the Eastern Arm of Tynemouth Priory Church	M Leyland David Sherlock	111 - 135	Summarises an architectural and archaeological analysis of the eastern arm of the church, undertaken as part a wider condition survey and renovation undertaken during 1996--97. Includes a discussion of earlier conservation works.
Alnmouth Old Church	Arnold Aspinall Fred Bettess R McConnell	137 - 146	Describes the results of a multi-disciplinary investigation combining geophysical survey, architectural reconstruction, topographical survey and documentary search into the size and exact location of the church, which has all but disappeared. Two pieces of an Anglo-Saxon cross were discovered in 1789 on the hill where the church stood.
Workers on the Pittington Demesne in the Late Middle Ages	Ben Dodds	147 - 161
The Bell Tower at Berwick-upon-Tweed	Caroline Paterson	163 - 175	Description and history of the octagonal, four storey structure, once an integral part of the northern mural defences of Berwick which date from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The existing structure is sixteenth century, though the possibility remains that it was built on the foundations of a medieval tower. One of only a few remaining examples of this once numerous structure, its survival is thanks in part to its additional role as a navigational landmark.
Inventories in the Probate Records of the Diocese of Durham	J Linda Drury	177 - 191
William Senior, Mapmaker, in Northumberland	Robin L Plackett	193 - 204	William Senior made estate maps for the Earl of Newcastle early in the seventeenth century. This article describes the contents of a representative selection relating to Northumberland, contrasting them with those of Robert Norton, drawn to complement Mayson's Survey. Senior's maps not only show topographical features but also name fields and areas, and locate individuals in the villages, sometimes identifying them by symbols from astronomy.
Richard Dawes (1708-1766), Classical Scholar and Tynesider, Part Two	Philippa Patrick	205 - 213
Tyneside's Most Respectable Breweries of 1801	Brian Bennison	215 - 221
The Heated Garden Walls at Belsay Hall	Fiona Green	223 - 230	The practice of heating garden walls was first recorded in the early-eighteenth century, and was developed in order to provide warmer growing conditions for more tender plants. The need for urgent repairs on the `hot-walls' at Belsay caused English Heritage to commission this report on the structure of the walls and their significance in relation to the estate as a whole.
