The met office says there might be local grass frosts tonight! Do I fleece my potatoes or not 
They are quite big now so a frost would do a lot of harm but equally they are going to be a nightmare to cover.
I am on the outskirts of a village in the Peak District; definitely rural.

If you live much lower than the surrounding hills, particularly in a valley or otherwise sheltered place, you are much more likely to cop a touch of ground frost than somewhere higher up and less sheltered.

Are they too tall now to earth up to cover them? That's by far the easiest and possibly even the quickest way and it has to be done at some point in the future anyway.

Other than that the decision has to be between you, your location, and the Met Office!

If was me I would fleece them.
perhaps you can earth up the shorter ones and cover the taller ones with fleece??
PS It will be June soon whatever difference that will make!
Good luck HH
