Mound S of Combe Abbey is a raised earthwork located within the grounds of the former Cistercian monastery at Combe in Warwickshire. The mound is a surviving example of the medieval landscape features associated with the abbey complex, which was founded in the twelfth century. Its precise original function remains uncertain, though such mounds within monastic precincts often served defensive, administrative, or commemorative purposes. The earthwork survives as a testament to the spatial organisation and topographical modifications undertaken by the Cistercian community during their occupation of the site.
