Vermin trap 800m south east of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a small stone-built structure forming part of the Trowlesworthy Warren complex on Dartmoor in Devon. The trap dates to the early modern period and was constructed as part of the management infrastructure associated with the rabbit warren, which was established to provide a reliable source of meat and fur. The structure represents the practical aspects of warren management, where the control of predatory animals was essential to protect the commercial rabbit population. This feature contributes to the archaeological record of Dartmoor's post-medieval exploitation and demonstrates the integration of multiple land-use strategies across the moorland landscape.
