Former field boundaries of probable post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs pf 1967 as earthworks to the east of Winscott Farm. The earthworks appear to closely correspond with field boundaries depicted on both the tithe map for Alwington and the Ordnance Survey first edition 25inch map, but additional earthwork banks might indicate that a trackway also previously crossed this field, perhaps a continuation of a route depicted on the historic maps to the south-east.
