Vermin trap 700m ENE of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a component structure within the Trowlesworthy Warren complex, a scheduled ancient monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The trap forms part of the medieval warren system that was established to manage rabbit populations for food production, a common practice amongst the Norman nobility and landholding classes from the twelfth century onwards. The specific trap structure reflects the practical infrastructure required to maintain and protect rabbit warrens, which were valuable economic resources during the medieval period. Warren management structures of this type typically survive as earthwork features and are integral to understanding the organisation of medieval agricultural and hunting landscapes on Dartmoor.
