Three pillow mounds and a linear gully 200m north of Great Trowlesworthy Tor is a scheduled ancient monument forming part of Trowlesworthy Warren on Dartmoor in Devon. The pillow mounds are earthworks of Medieval or later date, likely constructed for rabbit warrening purposes, a common practice on moorland during the Medieval period and beyond. The linear gully represents drainage or boundary features associated with the managed warren landscape. The site exemplifies the historical use of Dartmoor uplands for organised small-game farming, which formed an important economic resource for local lords and institutions during the Medieval period and into the early modern era.
