Probably fields marked on the Tithe Map (part of the North Bovey parish) as New Park (apportionment no 1452) Moor (1435) Rock Meadow (1454) Gate Park (1457) and Oarley Park (1456).

Field banks
In the northern part of the wood are several banks which are probably the remnants of field walls of the field named on the Parish Tithe Map as New Park (1452) and Moor (1453). The remains of further field boundaries running close the line of the old railway are probably the remnants of the field Rock Meadow (1454), Gate Park (1457) and Oarley Park (1456). It is probable that these went out of use as fields and became part of the wood after the construction of the Moretonhampstead and South Devon Railway which opened in 1866 and the line of which took up a large part of Moor, Rock Meadow and Oarley Park.

SX7715 8384 B10 Bank. A short, curving bank is just discernable through the bracken, emanating from the southern boundary of Huntingpark Wood (an earth and stone bank) and swinging gently westwards. It appears to be the continuation of a bank identified within Sanduck Wood during a previous archaeological survey (McCrone, P., 1985).
