Pillow mound 210m east of Great Trowlesworthy Tor is a medieval artificial warren earthwork forming part of Trowlesworthy Warren in Devon. The pillow mound is a long, narrow, flat-topped ridge constructed to provide habitat for rabbits, which were managed as a valuable resource in the medieval period. Such structures are characteristic of organised rabbit warrens, which became established across England from the twelfth century onwards. The earthwork survives as an archaeological monument documenting medieval land management and the economic importance of rabbit farming to rural communities.
