Pillow mound 210m east of Great Trowlesworthy Tor is a medieval earthwork forming part of Trowlesworthy Warren, a rabbit warren situated on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument consists of a low, roughly rectangular mound characteristic of pillow mounds, which were artificial breeding structures constructed to manage populations of rabbits for food and fur during the medieval period. This particular example is located within a larger warren complex that demonstrates the organised management of game resources in the later medieval landscape. The site is now a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its historical importance as evidence of medieval land use and animal husbandry practices on Dartmoor.
