Price dug around the ruins starting August 17, 1943. Among other things, he found a portion of a skull and jawbone. In the late 50s, Philip Paul led several excavations, discovering the remains of a tunnel and some of the servant bells that used to ring without apparent human involvement. Photographer Leonard Sewell was one of the diggers, and he wrote a poem about the experience. The ruins were picked over by area residents and tourists and eventually the site was covered over and three new homes erected. Nothing remains of the rectory today, except for the Great Borley Bell and the boundary stone, both now owned by famous paranormal author Peter Underwood - and the rectory gate posts which were owned by the late author Ivan Banks.
Potential visitors to the site are asked to review some considerations first. A 1988 newspaper article gives a flavor for what it is like for the residence of Borley when tourists throng the site.
