Vermin trap 800m south east of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a scheduled ancient monument forming part of the Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor in Devon. The structure dates to the early modern period and represents evidence of medieval and post-medieval warren management practised across the moorland landscape. Vermin traps of this type were constructed to control predators threatening the populations of rabbits and other game kept within the warren enclosure. The trap survives as a physical remnant of the economic importance of warrens to local landholders and demonstrates the practical methods employed in managing these valuable commercial resources.
