Vermin trap and length of reave 980m ESE of Trowlesworthy Warren House is a Bronze Age monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a length of reave, a characteristic linear boundary or field division of the Bronze Age landscape, alongside a vermin trap, a smaller structure designed to control predatory animals that threatened livestock. These features reflect the organised pastoral and agricultural practices that characterised Bronze Age settlement patterns on Dartmoor, where such reaves formed part of extensive field systems dividing the moorland. The monument dates to the second millennium BC and survives as an important witness to prehistoric land management and territorial organisation on the moor.
