Two Headland Warren boundary stones are ancient monuments situated in Devon, England, comprising stone markers positioned at distances of 275 metres and 430 metres north of Birch Tor. These boundary stones date to the medieval period and mark the limits of what was historically a managed warren, a controlled landscape used for the exploitation of rabbits and other game animals. The stones themselves represent the physical demarcation of territorial boundaries, typical of medieval and post-medieval land management practices in Devon's moorland regions. Their survival as discrete archaeological features provides evidence of the extent and organisation of warren management in the area, a significant aspect of medieval rural economy and land use.
