21st century housing development on the site of Barnburgh Hall demolished 1967-1971. This site was subject to a programme of archaeological works including trenching by the SYAFRU in 1991 (Sydes and Holberry, 1991) with further evaluation and excavation by WYAS is 2005 (Richardson 2005). These investigations revealed a sequence of occupation deposits associated with a Romano British enclosure, a medieval timber framed building superseded by stone built structures in use until the 16th century (probably representing a manorial complex) when the earliest phases of the hall demolished in the late twentieth century were constructed. Fragmentary legibility of the later historic phases of this sites development are legible through the retention of a 15th century dovecote 'Scheduled' as an ancient monument.
