Description
NRHE data transfer:
March 1996. Field survey.
The pillow mound was surveyed by the Royal Commission in March 1996 following a request from English Heritage.
A low oval mound with slight ditches flanking its eastern and western sides and most of its northern end. The mound measures 19.0m long by 7.2m wide by 0.6m high, and the ditches are on average 3.3m wide and 0.2m deep. Although slightly confused by the presence of nearby amorphous scarps, this appears to be a pillow mound. See archive report and plan at 1:1000 scale. <1>
