| A number of old timbers in the riverbed on the north bank of the Tyne were the remains of an Anglo-Saxon watermill. They were dated to this period by radiocarbon dating. Excavation found two stone floors and a number of wooden beams. A line of wooden stakes may have marked the edge of the channel leading the water to the mill. Unlike later watermills this one probably had a horizontal wheel. See also:
