Pillow mound 180m north west of Great Trowlesworthy Tor is a medieval earthwork forming part of Trowlesworthy Warren in Devon. The monument is an artificially constructed mound designed to provide habitat for rabbits, which were valued as a controlled food resource during the medieval period and beyond. The site represents evidence of deliberate landscape management and the establishment of a rabbit warren, a practice that became increasingly common in medieval England as rabbit farming developed as an important manorial enterprise. The earthwork survives as a prominent ridge-and-furrow feature within the broader warren complex on Dartmoor.
