White Hole was the subject of an archaeological assessment by the Calder Civic Trust and Hebden Bridge Local History Society in 1975 as part of the Joint Survey of Buildings for Proposed Listing. The fieldwork record sheet is held by WYAAS. In addition to a brief building description, the record sheet describes the barn as attached and built in three stages, being un mortared with a squared rubble extension. The house porch roof is also noted as having kneelers and copings (Calder Civic Trust and Hebden Bridge Local History Society. 1975). |
