Vermin trap 490m south of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a surviving example of pest control infrastructure associated with the medieval and post-medieval management of Trowlesworthy Warren. The trap forms part of the wider warren complex on Dartmoor, which was established to support the commercial production of rabbits, a valuable commodity in medieval and early modern England. Such structures were integral to warren maintenance, designed to control predator populations that threatened the rabbit stock. The trap survives as a physical testament to the organised, intensive land management practices that characterised warren administration during its period of active use.
