Dunkeswick in the Domesday Book (1086)
Dunkeswick is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Burghshire in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Dunkeswick at 95 carucates of taxable land.
The survey records Dunkeswick’s value at 0d in 1086. No pre-Conquest figure survives – not unusual in the North, where records were disrupted by the Harrying and by the patchy coverage of the survey.
