Walled pillow mound above Hentor Brook, Willings Walls Warren

Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1014469) describes a pillow mound on a gentle north-facing slope above the Hentor Brook, part of Willings Walls Warren, which has at least 18 pillow mounds between Spanish Lake and Hentor Brook, covers about 113 hectares, and existed by 1807, when Lord Boringdon leased it to Peter Nicholls, a warrener from Sheepstor, as part of Hentor Warren. After 1815 it was worked from Ditsworthy and stayed in use until the 1930s. It lies in the parish of Shaugh Prior, about 0.9 km south of Eastern Tor.

The mound is a flat-topped rectangle of soil and stone 29 metres long, 6 metres wide and 0.5 metres high, with a ditch 1.8 metres wide and 0.2 metres deep round it from which the material was dug. The whole east side and part of the west are held up by drystone walling. Tin streamwork earthworks lie 2 metres from the east edge and are not included in the scheduling.
