Pillow mound 865m ESE of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a medieval earthwork forming part of the Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor. The site represents evidence of rabbit warren management dating to the medieval period, when such installations were maintained as important sources of meat and fur for local landowners. The pillow mound itself is a characteristic linear earthwork, slightly raised and typically measuring several metres in length, constructed to provide suitable habitat for rabbits through deliberate landscaping and management of the ground surface. As a scheduled ancient monument, it contributes to the archaeological understanding of medieval land use and animal husbandry practices on Dartmoor.
