History

Although the development of Ingleby Barwick as a housing estate did not start until the late 1970s there are traces of human occupation from as far back as the Bronze Age. In the course of construction a Bronze Age burial site was uncovered in the Windmills Fields area. Traces of Iron Age field patterns were discovered. The site, near the junction of The Rings and Queen Elizabeth Way, of a Roman villa, perhaps the most northerly in UK, was excavated in part. This has been preserved as a grassed area in The Forum area of Ingleby Barwick.
