Vermin trap 490m south of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a component structure of Trowlesworthy Warren, a medieval rabbit warren situated on Dartmoor in Devon. The trap forms part of the warren's management infrastructure, which dates to the medieval period when such facilities were established to control predators and maintain the warren's productivity. Vermin traps of this type were essential elements of warren administration, designed to protect the valuable rabbit population from foxes, stoats, and other predatory animals. The structure survives as a physical remnant of the medieval warren's operational systems and contributes to the archaeological understanding of Dartmoor's medieval economy and land use.
