Pillow mound 530m ENE of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a medieval earthwork forming part of the Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument consists of a characteristic pillow-shaped or ridge-and-furrow mound, a type of constructed earthwork typically associated with rabbit warrens or coney garths of the medieval period. Such features were deliberately built to provide suitable habitat for rabbit populations, which were valued as a managed food source and fur resource by medieval landowners. The site's inclusion within the scheduled ancient monument designation reflects its archaeological significance as evidence of medieval land management and use of the Dartmoor landscape.
