A possible former enclosure boundary, potentially of medieval date, was visible on aerial photographs of the 1940s and images derived from lidar as an earthwork platform approximately 40 metres square, on the western side of a farm track on the south facing slopes of Lease Hill. This enclosure might be associated with a smaller, possible building platform identified as ‘Pitt’ and recorded as MDV65309; no evidence of a building platform has been recorded from the aerial photographic evidence.
