Other finds included a coin of Faustina I, a glass pendant (Kilbride Jones type 2) possibly late 1st-2nd century AD, and a melon bead. Surveyed at 1:2500 at NY 82467987. (1)

Aim of excavations in 1973 was to discover any timber structures beneath stone ones. A palisade trench was found along the south east perimeter of the later settlement with stone packing and irregular postholes. Packing stones and posthole found on examination of the largest hut. No finds associated. (4)

The timber phase did not underlie the remaining stone walls and therefore the later stone-walled enclosure did not follow the line of the earlier perimeter. Timber hut found beneath Hut 4, but unknown whether it was contemporary with the timber palisade enclosure. (5)

NY 824790. Bridge House Romano-British settlement. The plan is more complicated than usual for an enclosed settlement, one enclosed yard visible on south side where original entrance would have been. Five stone-founded huts visible. A sixth hut was found by excavation, outside the main enclosure wall. Some expansion took place here, the settlement may have originated as a timber-built enclosure. Excavation finds in the Museum of Antiquities, Newcastle upon Tyne. (6)
