Pillow mounds on Ashdown Forest is a medieval monument comprising artificial earthwork mounds constructed across the heathland landscape of Sussex.

The mounds are characteristic features of medieval land use on Ashdown Forest, where they remain visible as low earthen ridges across the terrain. Their presence reflects the historical exploitation and organisation of the forest landscape during the medieval period.
