Pillow mound 860m SSE of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a medieval earthwork forming part of the Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor in Devon. The site represents evidence of rabbit warren management, a practice undertaken from the medieval period onwards to provide a controlled food source. The pillow mound itself is a characteristic elongated, ridge-like artificial structure constructed to provide suitable conditions for rabbit populations, demonstrating the medieval and early modern interest in game management on Dartmoor. As part of the wider Trowlesworthy Warren monument, this feature contributes to understanding the economic use of the moorland landscape during the later medieval and post-medieval periods.
