Full description
Devon Record Office, 253 B M 1-3 (Record Office Collection). SDV115945.
Woodbury Farm adjacent to Roman earthwork. No early forms given in Place-Names of Devon & the earliest documentary reference so far found is from the late 17C when it was called Woodberry.
Silvester, R. J. + Bidwell, P. T., 1984, Roman Site at Woodbury, Axminster, 52 (Article in Serial). SDV99920.
The 'burh' place name element may have referred to upstanding earthworks visible in the Saxon period.
Henderson, C. G. + Simpson, S. J., 1990, Archaeological Investigations at Woodbury Great Close, Axminster, Devon (Report - Watching Brief). SDV118210.
Survival of 'wic' element in local names such as Wyke Lane and in the name of a nearby Domesday Manor of Wyke (Week or Wick in later sources) hint at the site's possible status as a Vicus or lesser administrative centre.
