Hi Adam,
I think (from your description) that you have the Lee Enfield known as the "No1 Mk3", and that you are describint the part of the rear sight that adjusts the elevation. If it only adjusts elevation, and not windage, you should ba able to press in one of the sides, which would free the rear sight so it can slide forward or rearward on the leaf (the part on which you can rear the distance in 1,000s of yards).
Here's a picture I found on the web (googling "Lee Enfield No1 Mk3 rear sight"), the round part with two small holes is what you push in. h ttp://www.hoosiergunworks.com/images/enfield%20_no1_rear.jpg
Hope this helps!

There is also a windage adjustable rear sight for No 1 Mk III. I've had a couple, mostly on .22 conversions.
If things won't move blast it with penetrating oil...
