This estate was developed between the 1953 and 1973 Ordnance Surveys of the area. The southern slopes of Wincobank hill are rich in archaeological evidence with the SMR recording Mesolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age evidence within the vicinity. This polygon includes an upstanding section of the 'Roman Ridge', a linear earthwork, currently undated through probably not of Roman date. Maps of the area, before it was developed as housing, show a semi regular field pattern of irregular boundaries enclosing long strips set perpendicular to the line of the earthwork. Pre-urban settlement in the surrounding area was generally of a dispersed nature (i.e. occasional farmsteads rather than larger nucleated villages). One such farmstead (Little Wincobank) was situated within this polygon but no above ground material survives. Partial legibility of the pre urban landscape from the well preserved Roman Ridge and the course of Jenkin Road.
