Less than north-west of Hutton are the remnants of Howe Hill Bronze Age round barrow. The diameter mound was excavated in 1892. Flint articles were found, and evidence of previous disturbance of the site, including burnt bones and a food vessel indicating a burial site. The mound later might have been used as a moot hill local meeting place. At the same site, to the north-west of Old Sunderlandwick Lane, is earthwork evidence of the deserted medieval village of Sunderlandwick—a settlement mentioned in the "Domesday" survey—with enclosures, hollow ways, ridges and furrows, and ditches.
