Site visit 14th June 1999. Considered under the Monument Protection Programme. A very small earthwork which looks like a pillow mound. It is however very steep sided. Whilst no better interpretation can be offered it was not felt that this site is definitely a pillow mound. Furthermore, if it is it does not form part of a warren of national importance
