Vermin trap 520m SSW of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a Bronze Age structure forming part of the Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor in Devon. The trap represents a practical survival feature of prehistoric settlement and subsistence practices, constructed to control predatory animals that threatened livestock and stored foodstuffs in the vicinity of the warren settlement. Dating to the Bronze Age period, the structure demonstrates the engineering and resource management strategies employed by communities occupying the moorland margins during this era. The survival of such utilitarian features within the broader settlement landscape provides archaeological evidence of daily life and environmental adaptation in prehistoric Devon.
