Pillow mound 270m south east of Ditsworthy Warren House forming part of Hentor Warren is a medieval earthwork constructed to manage and contain rabbit populations. The monument takes the form of a low, elongated mound with characteristic parallel ridges, representing the physical infrastructure of commercial medieval warren management on Dartmoor. Dating to the medieval period, this feature is part of the broader Hentor Warren complex, which demonstrates the systematic exploitation of rabbits as an economic resource during the medieval and early modern periods. The survival of such earthworks provides archaeological evidence of medieval agricultural practices and land use patterns across Dartmoor's upland landscape.
