Two pillow mounds and a small area of tin streamwork 510m south west of Ditsworthy Warren House forming part of Willings Walls Warren is a Bronze Age and medieval monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The pillow mounds represent medieval rabbit warrens, earthwork features constructed to support managed populations of rabbits for food and fur, whilst the tin streamwork indicates medieval or post-medieval exploitation of alluvial tin deposits in the locality. The site forms part of the larger Willings Walls Warren complex, which demonstrates the intensive use of Dartmoor's moorland resources during the medieval period. The monument's survival as upstanding earthworks provides evidence of both the warren management and tin extraction industries that characterised the economic activity of the region during this era.
