In Hatfield's Survey (c.1382) the tenants of Kibblesworth paid 6d p.a. rent "pro stangno" (pond or mill dam) of one mill there. In a deed of 1627 concerned with property in Kibblesworth there is specific mention of a water mill called "Moore Milne". These two documents do not necessarily refer to the same mill, but it must at least be possible that they do. Marked on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map is "Moor Mill (Corn)", equipped with a long pond, with sluice and dam, and a very long mill race, part of which is called Small Waters. The mill no longer exists, the pond barely, but the race can be tracked south to c. NZ 2555 5660.

In a grant of 1353 there is reference to "the chief messuage and park of Lamesley, namely from the road leading from Eighton to Lamesley church, with le halorchard and le vynermedowe, and thus to Britleywood...". It had been in the possession of Eleanor, lady of Raueneshelm, who had leased it to John Coke of Prudhoe, this lease being extended in 1353 by Sir John Lumley. In 1480 a John Cok still held the park, and it is mentioned again in 1485. It was separated from Lamesley church by Thornclos, and from the Team by Prior Meadow, both lying on the west side of the park.

The earliest reference is from the early 13th century when the vill was included in a quitclaim by Robert son of Richard de Raueneswrthe to Geoffrey son of Geoffrey, his nephew. It continues, with Eighton etc., to be part of the Ravensworth estate and so does not feature in the Boldon Buke (c.1183) (a survey of land belonging to the Bishop of Durham, Hugh du Puiset) or Hatfield's Survey (c.1382). The actual location of the village and its boundaries, as well as the extent of the township are unknown. An historic map of probable 18th century date shows a north-south 2-row village on the west bank of the Team, with other buildings on the east side. Lamesley park and fields were also on the east side.

In 1356 Sir John Lumley granted to Sir Robert Umfravill "the site, demesne, park, meadows and pasture of the manor of Raueneshelme, which Eleanor, who was wife of Richard Fitz-Marmaduke, holds for life and of which Sir John has the reversion. To hold for one year and six weeks after the death of the said Eleanor, taking in that time as much coal there as can be worked by four men in one pit".

The first specific mention of the manor of Raueneshelme is 1288, when Bishop Bec granted Sir John Fitz-Marmaduke free warren in the demesne land there. In 1356 Sir John Lumley leased "the site, demesne, park, meadows and pasture of the manor" to Sir Robert Umfravill to work coal there. In 1472 William Lumley died seised of the manor which contained 60 acres arable, 100 pasture, 10 meadow, 60 wood, 100 moor, and which he had held of the bishop "by service of half a knight's fee and by three suits to the principal county courts of Durham". It is unclear, however, what the title of manor means in this case - a set of buildings or a territory distinct from the neighbouring townships. If the latter, it is perhaps later represented by the park shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of the area.

By a grant dated before 1128 Ranulph bishop of Durham gave his nephew Richard Hectona (Eighton), Ravensworth and Blaikeston. The description of the boundaries suggests that "the high road" (presumably Long Bank and Old Durham Road) was the eastern boundary, and hence that Eighton is perhaps represented by the modern Low Eighton. The vill seems always to have been small, and it continued to be part of the Ravensworth estate, owned by the Lumleys in the 14/15th centuries, and passing to the Liddells in the early 17th century. Surtees quotes a deed of 1608 which mentions Eighton, Over Eighton and Nether Eighton, suggesting that Eighton may have been between the modern High and Low Eighton. Team Colliery, and its reclamation have much altered this area.

In the late 13th century Robert son of John de Rasinswrthe granted Sir John Fitz- Marmaduke half his mill on Thame (Team), and the grantee agreed "not to make a mill on the north up to Blakeburne". If both parties agreed, the mill could be moved to a more suitable place on their lands between the vill of Lamesley and Blakeburne. By 1480 a mill called Blackburn mill existed, and was part of a grant returning property to Bertram Lumley. It is mentioned again in 1536. In both documents it is described as in the lordship of Raveneshelm. The Black Burn runs north of Ravensworth Park and formed the north boundary of the township of Lamesley. The site of the mill is unknown, but the name Millgreen Cottage is known on the south side of the burn.

In 1387 Bishop Fordham granted to Robert Lamb, hermit, an acre of waste at the north end of the vill of Eighton, next to and west of the high road leading to Gateshead and near a stream descending from the spring called Scotteswell (HER no. 5137), for a chapel and hermitage in honour of the Holy Trinity in which to serve God and pray for the bishop, his predecessors and successors. In 1463 Sir William and Thomas Lumley granted the hermitage and 2 acres to Henry and Agnes Chamer for life - "William Jakson, who formerly dwelt in the hermitage, to live without molestation in a house belonging to the hermitage and which he now inhabits". There are no other references. Medieval Eighton seems likely to be Low Eighton, and the hermitage was perhaps sited close to Longacre Dean (NZ 268 578). Scot's Well however, is some distance to the north east at NZ 2754 5832 and it could be that the chapel and hermitage were closer to this point. This area has been disturbed by the former Spring Pit and by subsequent colliery reclamation and tree planting.

A small number of flints were found in this area by Coupland in the 1920s and by Raistrick in the ?1930s. The kinds of flints found by Coupland certainly included waste flakes and seem also to have included a trapezoidal flint and/or blades and a microlith. Raistrick found microliths and a typical graver. Neither source states if these flints still exist, and if so where, and their grid refs are a long way apart - Wymer's (first above) is west of the Old Durham Road near the Beacon Lough Estate, and Miket's falls in a housing estate at Wrekenton, east of Black Hill.The exact location of these finds is obscure, as is their present location.
