Three pillow mounds and a linear gully 200m north of Great Trowlesworthy Tor is a medieval warren monument forming part of Trowlesworthy Warren on Dartmoor, Devon. The pillow mounds are characteristic earthworks of rabbit warrens, raised rectangular structures designed to provide breeding and shelter for rabbits during the medieval period, while the linear gully represents infrastructure associated with the management and boundaries of the warren. The site dates to the medieval period and reflects the exploitation of marginal moorland resources, with Trowlesworthy Warren being one of the documented medieval rabbit warrens of Dartmoor. These earthworks remain visible today as important archaeological evidence of medieval land use and subsistence practices on the moor.
