Three medieval pillow mounds 900m north of Grove House is a group of earthwork monuments situated in Yorkshire. Pillow mounds are artificially constructed rabbit warrens, a form of medieval land management designed to provide a sustainable source of meat and fur for the manor or estate they served. These particular examples date to the medieval period and represent the physical remains of such economic activity, with their characteristic elongated, flattened mound form still visible in the landscape. The site's proximity to Grove House suggests its association with the manorial estate centred there.
