Pillow mound 450m north west of Lasborough is a medieval earthwork located in Gloucestershire. The monument consists of a low, elongated mound characteristic of pillow mounds, which were constructed during the medieval period as artificial warrens for the management and breeding of rabbits. This particular example represents the material evidence of commercial rabbit farming, an activity that became established in England from the Norman period onwards and remained economically significant throughout the medieval era. The survival of such earthworks provides important archaeological testimony to medieval land use practices and the exploitation of game resources on monastic or manorial estates.
