Description
2024-2025. Epping Forest Aerial and Investigation Project.
A post-medieval pillow mound is visible as an earthwork on 2023 0.25m Lidar data (commissioned by City of London Corporation). The feature comprises a mound approximately 30m by 7m surrounded entirely by a ditch around 2.5m wide. Situated approximately 500m south-west is a group of similar sized pillow mounds (EHER 81419). The feature is respected on its western side by an area of extensive sand and gravel extraction which suggests the pillow mound is older in date. This feature was mapped as part of the 2024-2025 Epping Forest Aerial and Investigation Project carried out by Historic England. <1> <2>
