Full description
Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, 1979, SX57NE29, SX57NE29 (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV226449.

(16/11/1994) One of seven pillow mounds situated within a historic field system. They survive as flat topped, oval mounds of soil and stone surrounded on four sides by the ditch from which construction material was quarried. See related records for other mounds.
Pillow mound F [SX 5553759?8] measures 6m by 4m and 0.8m high. The ditch measures 1.3m wide by 0.15m deep.
Gerrard shows this mound roughly level with D and E on his plan, so seems unlikely to be placed as far to the north as his recorded grid reference suggests [Richards, A, R., 30/08/2022].

The scheduling includes 12 pillow mounds which form part of Merrivale Warren.
