Vermin trap 520m SSW of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a stone-built structure forming part of the Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor in Devon. The trap dates to the post-medieval period and represents evidence of the management practices employed within this extensive warren system, which was used for the controlled breeding and harvesting of rabbits. Constructed from local stone, the feature demonstrates the practical infrastructure required to protect the warren's commercial interests by controlling predatory animals. The structure contributes to the archaeological understanding of early modern warren administration and the landscape modifications undertaken to maintain these valuable medieval and post-medieval enterprises.
