A newer development than much of the surrounding housing although consisting of similar types- mainly detached with some semi-detached housing of the villa type. The housing was probably constructed in the mid 1960s. The housing replaced fields with straight regular boundaries indicative of surveyed enclosure, probably as part of the Upper Hallam enclosure award of 1805. It has been suggested that the name 'Burnt Stones' derives from the destruction of a nearby village/ hamlet (possibly Hallam) as a result of William 1st 'Harrying of the North'. Legibility is invisible. The origin of the moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence).
