Sedgemoor : its history and natural history, 1972:p. 7 ("The Somerset Levels, otherwise called Sedgemoor") p. 10 ("Up to the beginning of the nineteenth century, Sedgemoor -- alternatively known as the Somerset Levels -- was mostly neglected; it was low lying and extensively flooded in winter.") p. 13 ("On the Ordnance Survey Maps of Somerset there is no single place-name 'Sedgmoor'; instead there are large numbers of 'moors'. [...] To avoid confusion over nomenclature, the whole area has been called Sedgemoor or the Somerset Levels, and it is that part of Somerset to the south-west of the Mendip Hills which lies at or near sea level. Two small areas of equally low-lying ground around Gordano and Kingston Seymour, known as Gordano and Kingston Levels, have been excluded, since they are isolated from the remainer of the region.")
