This area of regenerated woodland is shown as cleared on the 1925 OS. While the predominant management of Wincobank Wood in the earlier post-medieval period is known to have been coppicing (see HSY 1002), 19th century records suggest that this area was managed at this time as 'High Forest' where trees are allowed to grow to full height before felling and replanting. This area was identified by Level 2 survey (see NAA 2001) as rich in evidence for charcoal burning, giving significant legibility of the previous character types described.
