Residential and industrial developments are encroaching on this area which is still agricultural and represents the remnants of Winterwell Field. The 1st edition OS map of 1855 shows an area named Winterwell Field which was enclosed by parliamentary award, probably from the earlier open field. Field boundaries have been removed in the latter part of the 20th century to form an agglomerated field. Legibility of the former landscape is partial as the area is still farmed.
