Modern housing estates of predominantly detached houses built on the site of the early farms at Barugh. The date of origin of these structures is uncertain but they are likely to have been in the vicinity of the medieval occupation of the area. Barugh is first mentioned in the Domesday Book. There were two manor houses in the area. Dearne Hall was situated further north at Low Barugh (see HSY6821). Barugh Hall was probably close to this polygon as one of the earlier structures was known as Manor Farm. There is fragmentary legibility of the earlier occupation of this site as some property boundaries around the farms remain within the modern housing and The Rose and Crown public house remains. The 1841 census shows the occupants of Barugh were a mix of farmers, linen workers, canal workers and miners (Barugh Green and District Local History Group 1989, 12).
