Three areas of Moor Pond Wood were chosen as the sites with the most potential for further investigation. These three areas were Upper Dam, located north of Linby Lane, Dam Banks and the subsidiary pond, and the Grange Cottages wood area, both south of the sluice consolidated in 2015 and toward the north at Papplewick Lane where the water supply would have crossed. Volunteers systematically walked each area as far as the undergrowth would allow, looking for anything that may have not as yet been noticed and recorded. Hollows and banks were also checked against plans from previous works to make sure that they still accurately represented what was seen on the ground. Alterations and additions were made if this was the case, for example, the steepness and the break of slopes.
