This site was identified by geophysical survey in 2017 {1} and confirmed during trial trenching in 2018 {2}. It consists of a series of small pits or postholes and parallel ditches within an enclosure ditch lying to the south (trenches 4 and 5). The recutting of some ditches including the enclosure ditch indicates more than one phase of activity. A small quantity of briquetage/pottery/fired clay was recovered, similar to the Iron Age/early Roman briquetage assemblage found to the northeast at West Shiremoor (HER 17560). The charred plant macrofossil assemblages from environmental samples also indicate domestic occupation of this date.
In addition a small undated pit or posthole (trench 3) and an undated gully (trench 48) were identified to the southeast, possibly representing activity related to the settlement. This site may be the continuation of the site located to the northeast at West Shiremoor (HER 17560).

A small concentration of lithics identified during a programme of fieldwalking conducted to inform a planning proposal for an open cast coal mine.

30 lithics were spread across fields 3 and 4. A total of 17 lithics weighing 460g were obtained from field 3 and 13 lithics weighing 146g were obtained from field 4. Lithics identified across the site included flint, chert and possible quartzite and quartz. Within this flint scatter a possible Mesolithic microburin and microlith were identified in addition to a Mesolithic or early Neolithic trapezoidal-sectioned blade fragment and a Neolithic to early bronze Age bifacially retouched lithic.

47 lithics were found in fields 13 and 14. A total of 19 lithics weighing 263g were obtained from field 13 and 28 lithics weighing 172g were obtained from field 14. The flint scatter is hypothesised to continue into fields 15 and 16 which were not field walked in this phase of works. Lithics identified across the site included flint, chert and possible quartzite and quartz. Within this flint scatter there was evidence of Mesolithic to early Neolithic blade production due to the presence of an overshot blade and conical core fragment. In addition, a Mesolithic microburin was identified and there is also evidence for Neolithic to early Bronze Age lithics in the form of knives.

A building is identified on successive Ordnance Survey maps as hall (1919), church (1939), Christian Science Church (1954) and Masonic Hall (1970).

A meeting house of an unidentified group. Inscribed stone above door says 'Church of Christ Meeting Place'. Appears to be 20th century in date. Disused.

A free Gospel Hall at Albert Street, recorded in Ward's 1933 Directory. Exact location has not been identified.

A Gospel hall (Brethen?) is recorded in Ward's 1933 Directory at 182 Bensham Road

Demolished Salvation Army citadel located on Warwick Street, Gateshead. Identified in Ward's 1933 Directory.

A church identified on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map. The now demolished church was constructed in 1887, designed to seat 250 people.

Ridge and furrow, former field boundaries and several possible archaeological anomalies were identified here during a geophysical survey.

Ancillary building to Block A of the Engineering Research Station for British Gas, constructed between 1966 and 1967. Originally constructed to be used for noisy work and hazardous stores. Single storey linear block constructed of engineering brick, stretcher bond and cream eaves cladding. Twelve doorways and five windows along the southern elevation and two bricked-up doorways. Eastern elevation partly covered by an earth bank, representing a wave of earth which the building rises from. Northern elevation shows areas of repair work. There are four doorways, loading bay and five windows. Extended in 1985 to accommodate new staff. Sold to and used by North Tyneside Council between 1995-2008. Total of 27 rooms on ground floor. Interior of the building comprises of brick and concrete breeze block. Concrete floor is covered in linoleum. Ground floor rooms used for lunch rooms, canteen, locker room, drying room, offices, toilet, changing and shower facilities, reception, storage and plant room [1].
