Pillow mound 3: one of nine pillow mounds at Greenawell, spaced at a minimum of 50 metres apart. The size and shape of the mounds vary, but are generally an elongated oval shape, up to 0.6 metres high and 5 - 8 metres broad at at the base. Their length varies from 10 metres to 25 metres. They are usually aligned downslope to facilitate drainage, and were sometimes surrounded by ditches, as is this one. These provided material for the construction of the mound and chambers, and further facilitated drainage. The documentary evidence supports the identification of these mounds as a rabbit warren, and dates their construction to the late 16th century or earlier. Other details: Figures 4, 6-7; plate 8.
