Berry, N. + Simmonds, T., 1996, An Archaeological Survey of Boro Wood (SX7571), Erme Wood (SX6357), Wistmans Wood (SX6177) and Newpark Waste (SX5961), BW25 (Report - Survey). SDV360518.

SX 74957202 Wall. Remains of low wall running south-east along contour, 30m uphill from the stream and parallel to it. Appears older than the boundary wall to the north-west as there are some large ash coppice stools 5m south of the junction with the boundary. Does not, however, appear to continue to the north of the boundary. Length of wall approximately 45m, appearing as a break of slope, but some walling evident in places. At south end turns downhill and then immediately south-east again in the form of two large banks of stone and then fades. These banks are approximately 5m long, 2.5m wide and 0.7m high. May correspond to part of small enclosure shown in the north-east corner of the wood on Ordnance Survey 6 inch map.

Environment Agency WMS, 2021, Environment Agency LIDAR Composite DTM 2020 - 1m (Cartographic). SDV364513.
