Architectural fragment in Hartlepool and Roker dolomite. Unworn and finely dressed. Two carved faces only survive. A (broad): part of one register of encircled pattern with a roll moulding on one edge. F (bottom). Perhaps part of the same scheme as SMR 401. 6.8 cm high x 8.5 cm wide x 4 cm deep. Last quarter of C7. Found in 1966 in archaeological excavations. Dated C7th.

Architectural fragment, in Hartlepool and Roker dolomite. Broken but unweathered. Only one carved face survives. "The edge has a broken flange at a recessed level. An interlace is bordered by a wide flat-band moulding which is curved and widens slightly at one end. The interlace consists of a fragment of linked loops but it is not possible to reconstruct the total pattern". 4.3 cm high x 4.3 cm wide x 2.5 cm deep. Last quarter of C7. Found in 1964 in the archaeological excavations. Dated C7th.

Architectural fragment, in fine-grained yellow sandstone. Damaged but completely unweathered. Only one carved face survives. Part of a panel of interlace set in bold roll mouldings. On one side the background is flat and chamfered back, on the other it is in a shallow convex curve. The interlace consists of one register of encircled pattern and the outer edge of another. Perhaps part of an interlace fitment of the church. 12 cm high x 18 cm wide x 18 cm deep. Last quarter of C7. Found in 1966 in archaeological excavations, immediately south of the church. Dated C7th.

In 1763 "a gentleman from Durham" showed the author of this account, P. Collinson, some large teeth from a gigantic skeleton and 2 Roman coins which had been found in the grave. The original discovery had been made in 1759 in the course of working the limestone quarries when the removal of a ridge of limestone had revealed the skeleton, protected by four large flat stones, and on the south side of it, by its right hand, the two Roman coins. Welfare suggests that the coins and the burial were contemporary, and probably not earlier than the beginning of the C3.

In 1759, in the course of working the limestone quarries, "a ridge of limestone and rubbage" (sic) was removed. "In the middle of this bank was found the skeleton of a human body, which measured nine feet six inches in length, the shin-bone measuring two feet three inches from the knee to the ancle (sic); the head lay to the west, and was defended from the superincumbent earth by four large flat stones, which the relator, a man of great probity, who was present when the skeleton was measured, and who himself took the teeth out of the jaw, saw removed". Two Roman coins were found on the south side of the skeleton, near the right hand. A later source added "a small urn of unbaked clay" to the discovery. Welfare suggests the description of the skeleton was detailed enough to be true, and that he was therefore one of the biggest men ever found. On the strength of the coins he had probably been inserted into an earlier cairn not before the beginning of the C3.

In 1759, in the course of working the limestone quarries, "a ridge of limestone and rubbage" (sic) was removed. "In the middle of this bank was found the skeleton of a human body...the head lay to the west, and was defended from the superincumbent earth by four large flat stones, which the relator, a man of great probity, who was present...saw removed". The O.S. have translated this as a cist burial, but there are other ways of interpreting stones thus described and Welfare did not accept it as a cist, preferring to interpret it as a Roman burial inserted into a prehistoric cairn. Near the right hand of the body were 2 Roman coins, and a later source added "a small urn of unbaked clay" to the finds.

In 1759, in the course of working the limestone quarries, "a ridge of limestone and rubbage" (sic) was removed. "The ridge was about 25 yards in length from east to west, its perpendicular height was about a yard and a half, its breadth at the top was near six yards, and the sides were sloping like the ruins of a rampart". In the middle of this bank, apparently covered by large flat stones (398), there was a large human skeleton (399), with 2 Roman coins near its right hand. (400) A later account adds that "a small urn of unbaked clay" was also found. Welfare suggests that this mound could well have been a Neolithic long cairn, and the burial a Roman insertion.

Gibbs recorded the discovery of a cist burial at Langham Tower, perhaps in the 1920s, but added no details. W. Dodds informed Young that flint was found in the cist but this was not traced by Young, and must be presumed lost. The O.S. could not find Langham Tower, and so located this entry on the wrong map, - see above.

In 1842 two human skeletons were discovered on Building Hill. The first, supposedly an adult female, was reported on 18 Feb., having been found "about three feet below the surface, near the footpath of Building Hill quarry...The bones were very much decayed. There are no circumstances connected with the occurrence from which it can be ascertained how long it had lain, or under what circumstances it was deposited". On 29 Sept. a second "was disentombed by Mr. William Jefferson, when laying open the rock to procure stone". Richardson explicitly quotes "Local Papers" as the source for the latter discovery. The second hand reference to "doubtful implements from Building Hill", and a much later reference to a barrow there are too uncertain to justify a prehistoric date.

A perforated axe-hammer of greenstone, with oval bi-conical hole, was found at Millfield. Length 181 mm, max. width 62 mm, thickness 70 mm. In the Greenwell Collection when Evans described it, it had passed to Dr Sturge by 1905, and is now in the British Museum.
