Pillow mound 40m east of Legis Tor is a medieval earthwork forming part of Legistor Warren in Devon. The structure dates to the medieval period and represents evidence of rabbit warren management, a common practice on upland commons and waste lands during the Middle Ages and early modern period. The pillow mound itself is a characteristic raised, flat-topped bank constructed to provide favourable habitat for rabbit populations, which were valued as a managed resource for food and fur. As part of the wider warren complex at Legistor, this monument contributes to the archaeological record of medieval land exploitation and animal husbandry practices in south-western England.
