Summary

Forming part of Hentor Warren, pillow mound survives as an 8.7m by 4.7m by 1.4m high, flat topped, oblong mound of soil and stone surrounded by the 2m wide and 0.2m deep ditch from which construction material was quarried. It lies on top of earlier alluvial tin streamworking earthworks and therefore is clearly more recent than the last phase of tin exploitation in this part of the river plym (mpp).
