Giants' Graves is a group of four pillow mounds located approximately three hundred metres south-east of White Brackens House in Westmorland, England. Pillow mounds are earthwork monuments of medieval origin, typically constructed as rabbit warrens or artificial breeding grounds for rabbits, which were a valued resource for medieval landowners. These particular examples, like others of their type, represent medieval agricultural and hunting practices, when rabbits were managed intensively on estates to provide both meat and fur. The site is recorded in the National Heritage List for England under list entry 1007225.
