A rectangular earthwork platform is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1948. No features are depicted in this location on the available mapping, and it is depicted as rough ground on the late-19th century maps and described as furze and pasture in the tithe apportionment. At approximately 15 by 8 metres in extent it is a little too small for a tennis court, but may be a twentieth century recreational facility associated with the nearby school, later a hotel (MDV43001). It is not visible on later available imagery and its survival is not known.
