A possible gap in the field boundary to the north of the farmstead may indicate the site of a stile and a further field boundary to the west of the northern shippon may indicate the site of the steps with stile. Map object partly based on this source.

Structure h): Two stiles survive to the north and west of Standon farmstead. One is located on the south side of a field named 'Barn Park' in the 19th century Tithe Map Apportionment at the north-west corner of the North Shippon. On the west side of Water lane is a blocked up flight of steps which lead to a step stile set into the eastern hedge of a field named 'Great Meadow' in the 19th century Tithe Map Apportionment. A possible curving path leads from these towards 'Will Park' and may indicate a route for collecting water or taking dairy produce to be stored in a butterwell.
