A possible building platform or garden feature can be seen as a subtle earthwork on aerial photographs of the 1950s, centred on circa SS 8687 3129. The platform is visible as a slight rectilinear terrace measuring roughly 40 metres east to west up to 18 metres north to south, cut into the hillside immediately to the north of Ashway. The platform may have been intended for additional farm buildings or perhaps a south facing garden overlooking the Barle valley below.
