Two pillow mounds 640m ENE of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a Bronze Age burial monument forming part of the larger Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor in Devon. These earthworks, characteristic of barrow construction in the Bronze Age, represent funerary deposits typical of upland exploitation in the second millennium BCE. The pillow mounds are situated within a landscape rich in contemporary ritual and settlement features, contributing to our understanding of Bronze Age use of Dartmoor's higher ground. Their survival as upstanding earthworks preserves evidence of prehistoric funerary practices and the territorial organisation of Bronze Age communities on the moor.
