Overview

History & significance

The site preserves evidence of settlement activity dating to the medieval period, with earthwork remains visible across the landscape that reflect the organization and layout of a typical medieval farming community. The settlement's abandonment, like many English villages during this period, relates to the broader processes of economic and social change that affected rural communities from the late medieval period onwards. The archaeological remains at Tunstall contribute to our understanding of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the Yorkshire region.
