Terraced housing built within the boundaries of a former field giving fragmentary legibility of the earlier landscape. The date of enclosure is uncertain but the land was probably enclosed in the medieval period as this is quite close to the historic core of the settlement which was mentioned in the Domesday Book. The population of Barugh rose rapidly between the 1841 and 1871 census with a change from a predominantly farming economy to one where the majority of the population was involved in mining (Barugh Green and District Local History Group 1989, 11-13). These houses would have been built for the incoming miners.
