Ten medieval pillow mounds and part of an associated enclosure 300m north west of Combe Lodge is a scheduled monument comprising a group of artificial earthworks situated in Oxfordshire. The pillow mounds are characteristic features of medieval rabbit warrens, constructed as artificial breeding grounds to manage and contain populations of rabbits for meat and fur production, a practice that became established in England from the Norman period onwards. The surviving earthworks demonstrate the physical infrastructure of medieval warren management, with the mounds deliberately raised to create suitable habitat for rabbiting whilst the enclosure would have functioned to regulate animal movement and facilitate harvesting. The monument is recorded on the National Heritage List as entry 1009418 and represents an important survival of specialist medieval agricultural landscape management.
