Full description
Environment Agency WMS, 2022, Environment Agency LIDAR Composite DTM 2022 - 1m (Cartographic). SDV365447.
Pillow mound identified from lidar data at SX 6306 9352 to the west of the warren. Not marked on the modern mapping and appears to have been missed during previous study of this site, this mound measures approximately 22m by 6.5m and is aligned roughly north-east by south-west. It is only faintly visible on the lidar data and is the only one in the group on this alignment - perhaps an early mound that fell out of use.
