Pillow mound and animal run 830 metres north east of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a medieval warren feature forming part of the Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor in Devon. The pillow mound represents an artificial earthwork constructed to provide habitat for rabbits, which were managed as a valuable resource during the medieval period and later. The associated animal run would have facilitated the movement and management of rabbits within the warren system. Such features are characteristic of organised rabbit warrens that became established across England from the Norman period onwards, with Trowlesworthy Warren representing a significant example of this type of medieval and post-medieval agricultural management on Dartmoor.
