This is an enclosed settlement and associated field system situated east of Trowlesworthy Warren House on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises an enclosed settlement with a length of reave (a field boundary bank of Bronze Age or Iron Age date), two vermin traps, and a pillow mound, representing a palimpsest of settlement and land use spanning from the prehistoric period through the medieval period. The reave evidences organised field division typical of Bronze Age or Iron Age landscape management on Dartmoor, whilst the pillow mound indicates later medieval or early post-medieval activity at the site. Taken together, these features demonstrate the long history of agricultural exploitation and pastoral management characteristic of Dartmoor's moorland and rough grazing lands.
