Probable boundary drains, ditches and sites of light industrial activity were noted during evaluation trenching in this area in 2009. This evidence implies that occupation here was once more widespread than the currently surviving farm buildings might indicate. This activity underlies a broad system of ridge and furrow (HER 16185).

Description
Two ditched enclosures were revealed during evaluation trenching in 2009. This was fully excavated in 2013 by Headland Archaeology. Three main phases of activity were identified on the site - an early Bronze Age cemetery, Iron Age settlement and medieval agricultural activity. The cemetery is represented by three cremation burials and a possibly related pit to the west of the excavation area. The Iron Age settlement consists of large rectangular ditches enclosing several concentrations of ring-gullies, pits and linear features. The central enclosed area contained large ring gullies that had been rebuilt several times. Other ring gullies and enclosures may relate to livestock management. The site was an important hub of Iron Age activity probably representing a well populated agricultural community. Radiocarbon dating from previous archaeological investigation suggests dates of 100BC-70AD for the eastern enclosure and 180BC-1AD for the western. This site probably continued to be used into the Romano-British period although how long occupation continued is unknown. A period of medieval activity is represented by a grain-drying kiln and rig and furrow system.

One of a pair of semi-detached Victorian dwellings dating to the late 19th century which were altered in the mid 20th century to form part of the former Dame Allan's Junior School. 72 Station Road was formerly Linden Villa occupied by Amos Bunn in 1887 and later Herbert Wright (shipbroker) in 1931. By 1951 the houses formed part of a complex of Council Offices. Also in 1951 no.72 (and presumably 74) were listed as Linden (Prep) School. From 1962-1996 Colonel Johnson was headmaster, his daughter Susan Innes then took over as head. In 1997 Linden School became part of Dame Allan's Foundation for children ages 3-11 and later nursey-year 3. By 2012 the building had become redundant.

The inscription is cut in fine-granied sandstone and is quite un-weathered. It was dredged from the Tyne on the site of the Roman bridge Pons Aelius. It must therefore be assumed to have been set up in a building on or near the bridge, possibly the shrine of Neptune and Oceanus. The text is notable for the number of errors.

Bronze harness mounts. Maximum diameter 6.4 cm. The design of the two mounts, which are not exactly a pair, is based upon the 'trumpet' motif and is entirely Celtic. The 'trumpets' are combined to form a 'triquetra' or three-looped ornament. Similar mounts originated in north Gaul and the Rhineland and were carried by Roman troops from Celtic lands as far afield as Mesopotamia and Morocco. Great North Museum: Hancock 1956.128.103.A
