The southern boundary of Headland Warren is a stout well maintained drystone wall, approximately 1.5 metres high, extending west to east between Walla Brook and Grims Lake. It separates the Headland Warren from the land of Soussons and Challacombe to the south. The course of the wall coincides with the parish boundary of Manaton and North Bovey, which is certainly much older than Headland Warren and probably Challacombe. It has been observed that part of the wall follows the course of a Prehistoric reave but the wall itself is likely to date form the late 18th century
