The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Wincobank is a slight univallate hillfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, with later reuse as a World War II anti-aircraft gun and searchlight emplacement. Local folklore occasionally associates such ancient sites with fairy activity, though specific traditions for Wincobank are not widely recorded.
