Pillow mound 540m east of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a medieval artificial warren feature forming part of the Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument consists of an elongated earthwork typical of pillow mounds, which were constructed to provide managed habitat for rabbit populations during the medieval and early post-medieval periods. Located within the broader warren landscape, this feature exemplifies the intensive land management practices employed across Dartmoor during the medieval period, when rabbit warrens represented significant economic resources. The earthwork survives as a visible topographical feature within the designated ancient monument complex.
