Hodgson recorded that, in 1812, in digging up part of the walls he implied surrounded the supposed Roman fort, a silver denarius of Aulus Vitellius was found embedded in the mortar of the wall core. Surtees located the find fairly precisely in the site of a round tower, near the south-west angle of the cemetery.

Roman masonry was said to have been found in 1800 during the building of Jarrow Hall. During excavations in 1989-90 north of the hall, "roofing tiles, squared blocks of buff sandstone and a fragment of an amphora" were recovered.

Excavations by R.J. Cramp (1963-78) at the Anglo-Saxon monastery produced a trumpet brooch of copper alloy.

Excavations by R.J. Cramp (1963-78) at the Anglo-Saxon monastery yielded two fragments of Roman glass: 1.) Part of a vessel; 2.) Part of a bracelet

During excavations by R.J. Cramp (1963-78) at the Anglo-Saxon priory "six sherds of Roman pottery were discovered in what appear to be Saxon levels", and "huts or shelters with clay floors were discovered in the western section of the cutting. In one of these was a deposit of Roman tegulae and imbrices and their chippings, which had been used presumably in the making of opus signinum flooring...".

A Roman oil lamp was found "in the ballasting gravel of a railway embankment at East Jarrow, near the Curlew Road", and exhibited to the Society of Antiquaries, Newcastle, in 1929. The railway must have been one of the wagonways or mineral lines in that area.

There is a covered well in the cloister at St. Paul's, Jarrow. The Ordnance Survey archaeological record card reads as follows: "A circular well with a square top, 1.3 metres square, which protrudes 0.5 metres above ground level. The present depth of the well is 4.5.metres. The well is covered with a permanent square stone top... Its exact date is not known...". It may be Medieval of post-Medieval.

In the bursar's rental of 1539 the tenants of Hedworth are recorded as paying 16s 8d for the repair of the watermill. In 1783 the mill is shown astride the River Don at the north-east corner of the village, and a mill race in the same place on the1st edition Ordnance Survey map. A mill is recorded at Hedworth in the Jarrow Account Rolls of 1332 and the site may well be the same. The mill was for milling corn. A cottage now stands on the site at Hedworth, with no obvious connections to the old mill, although what may be traces of the race can be seen on the west bank of the Don.

First reference to Heathewurthe is in Bishop Walcher's late 11th century (c. 1072) grant of Jarrow and its appendages to Aldwin. In 1345/6 the bursar's rental records 13 tofts and 429 acres held by at least 9 tenants including John Hedworth. By 1430 the only named (free) tenants were the heirs of John, Richard and John Hedworth, who held 3 tofts, 1 garden, 1 place, 1 waste place and garden, and 86 acres. Not only was the Hedworth family now dominant, but the place seems to have shrunk quite dramatically. The village lay on the west bank of the Don, just south of the point at which the Wrekendyke crossed the river. The road pattern roughly survives, but there has been much new building. The 1783 map suggests there was once a green, perhaps later encroached on.

The present Hebburn Hall dates to the 17th century with late 18th and 19th century alterations. Its predecessor, according to Surtees writing in 1820, was an "old mansion house...built with some view to defence, trenching on the Castle like the Border towers". It was later reported that "the builder of the mansion took down the old tower (with the exception of one length of massive walling 4.5 feet thick), as well as the Elizabethan additions that had been made to it, and used up the materials in the new edifice. Some of the mullions and sills of the narrow windows of the tower were found in the walls when the recent transformations were made". The house was further altered in the 1880s when the Ellisons finally left. Though part of the house is said to survive at the west end, in what became a vicarage, the evidence for its early appearance is circumstantial. A site visit in November 2001 during restoration work to Hebburn Hall revealed three stone corbels which had previously been hidden under a suspended ceiling. The thick stone wall mentioned above was also identified. Though these undoubtably belong to the medieval building, further research will be required to ascertain exactly which part of the building they represent. The corbels presumably supported a parapet.
