McAndrews and the Count History make no mention of an old causeway or building foundations. McAndrews does give a throw away comment about one Northumberland history mentioning the stone foundations of round Anglo Saxon buildings but he dismisses it on the basis that no physical evidence has been found.
When the Manor House was operational and collecting dues there was apparently a jetty where boats moored below the Manor and Hallbank Well. Could this stone wall have anything to do with that??
Before the road between Warkworth and Amble came into being along the river, the old road went up past Gloster Hill and Gilden.
