Summary

In the summer of 2004 a parch mark was noticed on the lawn of Edgehill, indicating the previous existence of a buttressed rectangular building. It was at least 6m by 4m, and is presumably a structure within the precinct of St Leonard's Priory (NHER 359). A survey of aerial photographs of the area failed to identify any similar marks.
