This area, which appears to be being managed as a public open space, is bounded to the south by the Roman Ridge Scheduled Monument. The 1851 OS shows this area as surveyed enclosure with a nearby place name being 'Wincobank Common'. During the 20th century the use of the land is unclear but there was a progressive loss of the boundaries shown on the first edition OS and paths across this ground appear to have taken a variety of courses. It is likely that this area has reverted to common usage. There is partial legibility of the pre-urban form as part of the polygon boundary follows the older 'Roman Ridge' earthwork.
