Vermin trap 730m ENE of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a small structural feature forming part of the Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor in Devon. The trap dates to the early modern period and represents evidence of the management practices associated with the warren, which was maintained as a controlled landscape for rabbit cultivation. Vermin traps of this type were constructed to protect the warren population by eliminating predators and competing animals that threatened the economic viability of the enclosed rabbit warren. The survival of such features contributes to understanding the material culture and practical operations of early modern English warrens.
