After discussion with the Mapping and Spatial Analysis Officer at English Heritage it was decided to move the Listed Building and Monument polygons to the footbridge to the north-east of West Forde Farm, as these where actually placed on a weir to the south-east. There is no stream and associated footbridge to the south-west of the farm as described in the Department of Environment listing description.
