Full Description
A rectangular terraced platform cut into the slope east of Whistley Waters is visible in both recent LiDAR imagery, and satellite images; a roofless building is shown at this location in c. 1900 by the 2nd ed OS map, and it seems likely that further buildings also likely originally occupied this space given the size of the platform. <1-4>
