The two pillow mounds 415m and 430m north east of Trowlesworthy Warren House form part of Trowlesworthy Warren, a Bronze Age and medieval monument complex on Dartmoor in Devon. These earthworks are characteristic examples of pillow mounds, artificial rabbit warrens created during the medieval period to manage populations of rabbits for food and fur. The mounds, which remain visible as distinctive linear or oval-shaped earthen banks, represent the intensive land management practices of medieval landowners. Together with other features of the Warren complex, they demonstrate the economic importance of rabbit farming on Dartmoor during the medieval period and into the early modern era.
