Pillow mound 220m south west of Legis Tor forming part of Legistor Warren is a medieval earthwork constructed as part of a managed rabbit warren system. The monument dates to the medieval period, when such warrens represented significant productive resources controlled by landholders and intensively managed for the supply of rabbit meat and fur. The pillow mound itself comprises a characteristic elongated, flattened mound of earth designed to provide habitat and nesting grounds for rabbits within the warren's organised landscape. This example forms part of the broader warren complex at Legistor and represents the archaeological evidence of medieval land use and animal husbandry practices on Dartmoor.
