Ten medieval pillow mounds and part of an associated enclosure 300m north west of Combe Lodge is a group of earthwork features located in Oxfordshire. The pillow mounds are characteristic of medieval rabbit warrens, a form of intensive animal husbandry that emerged in England during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. These artificial mounds provided elevated, well-drained habitat for rabbits, which were valued as a source of meat and fur by medieval landowners and monasteries. The associated enclosure represents the administrative structure of the warren, serving to contain and control the rabbit population within a defined territory.
