Pillow mound on Langstone Moor is a small earthwork of medieval or post-medieval date located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument takes the form of a low, elongated mound characteristic of pillow mounds, which were constructed as rabbit warrens to provide a managed source of food and fur during the medieval and early modern periods. Such structures are found across southern England and represent an important aspect of medieval land management and exploitation of marginal moorland resources. The mound's survival on the open moorland landscape provides evidence of the extent of human activity and agricultural organisation on Dartmoor during this period.
