Two pillow mounds and a small area of tin streamwork 510m south west of Ditsworthy Warren House is a medieval and early post-medieval monument forming part of Willings Walls Warren on Dartmoor in Devon. The pillow mounds are characteristic earthworks associated with rabbit warren management, a practice that became widespread in medieval England as a means of producing meat and fur for aristocratic consumption. The tin streamwork represents evidence of mineral extraction activity, indicating the mixed economic use of this upland landscape. The site is situated within a broader warren complex that reflects the intensive exploitation of Dartmoor's resources during the medieval and early modern periods.
