What is recorded here
Medieval Lea rose as a military staging post and fell back into the low Barrow fields, leaving only ambiguous ditches and a vanished ash tree that once anchored Whit-Monday dancing. Its fate was never smooth: rebellion, siege, decay and forgetting all had a share. What remains is a place where human pride kept returning to ground that would not hold it steady.
Unlocated settlement possibly located somewhere between Castletown castle and Castletown Church (Feehan 1983, 370).
