A log-boat was found in 1888, at a depth of 2.1 m, in the bed of the River Wear at Offerton Haugh. Of oak, it was 3.5 m long, with "a flat bottom rising slightly at either end and tapering in plan and elevation. The broader end is rectangular in plan, the other rounded. A group of four holes near the sheer on the broader end are interpreted by McGrail as for thwartship strengthening. A rectangular hole on one side may have been for joining the vessel to another". It is reported to have contained human bones; stone implements "like chisels" and deer horns were said to have been found on the bottom of the stream near the same spot.
The Ordnance Survey 3rd edition 1:2500 map is marked 'Canoe, Human Remains &c. found A.D. 1888'. The find was reported in the Notes of Archaeologia Aeliana some time later in 1968. The canoe had been presented to Sunderland Museum in 1910 by the River Wear Commissioners, having been found in the bed of the River Wear at Hylton during the removal of the Brixons (Brigg Stones).

A rectilinear ditched enclosure is visible on aerial photogrpahs, with what appear to be 3 internal circular structures, in a rough east-west line across the site. There may also be another smaller enclosure inside, and there is a possible trackway entering from the south and then splitting into 3 to approach these internal structures.

A perforated stone axe-hammer of grey slate was found in the 1930s during house building. It is 224 mm long, 69 mm wide at the perforation and 84 mm at the blade, 93 mm thick, and the perforation is 34 mm. The upper and lower faces are slightly dished and the surface polished. A raised rib on the upper face runs from the perforation to the blade.

A tree-covered round barrow of earth and stones, 22.45 m in diam, 2.21 m high with what appears to be a surrounding ditch 0.20 m deep and bank, 1.10 m max. width and 0.20 m high.

In February, 1876, the small natural mound of sand and gravel, with a small barrow on top, called Steeple Hill, was removed. Inside it was a cist laid east-west, 4 feet long x 2.5 feet wide x less than 2.5 feet deep, constructed of 4 whin boulders, 2 on each side, and with end and cover stones of limestone. The cist contained "the skeleton of a man past middle life, laid in the contracted position…. Two 'food vessels' had been deposited close to the chest of the man", and in one was a cremation of a child under 12. One of the vessels was a bipartite vessel with shoulder groove and 5 unpierced lugs, and decorated with incised herring bone pattern, the other probably bipartite, and decorated with encircling and vertical cord lines. Both are lost. A second skeleton, of a woman past middle life, was found 3 feet west of the cist.

In the Summer of 1914, some workmen discovered a covered cist made from limestone flags on the northern side of the southern peak, about six feet from the base. On the floor were the fragments of three urns "of very rude and inelegant form, ornamented with zigzag", all of them containing a rich dark mould, in which were interspersed small fragments of bone and some human teeth, the remains of cremations.

Microlith found at Washington. There is no further information on the appearance of the tool or the authenticity of the record.

A grey flint dagger surviving up to 163 mm long and 32 mm wide, but with the tip missing. Discovered while making a golf course in 1977. Similar daggers are unknown in Britain and it has ben suggested that the find may be a Danish flint dagger, brought across to England quite recently and then lost.

There is record of a mill at Newbottle in Boldon Buke (a 1183 survey of land belonging to the Bishop of Durham, Hugh du Puiset) . In 1307 the rent of the mill was 4 - 6s - 8d, and 34s - 4d was paid for building a new one. Though the type of mill was never stated in the medieval documents, in the 17th century it was explicitly said to be a "Water Corne Mill commonly called Newbottle Milne at Newbottle together with the damm of water and suite and suchen...". The location of the mill is uncertain, but a possible site is that of Sedgeletch Mill shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan (c.1860).
