Vermin trap immediately south west of Legis Tor is a small stone structure forming part of Legistor Warren, a medieval and post-medieval rabbit warren in Devon. The trap dates from the medieval period onwards and represents the practical infrastructure associated with the managed exploitation of rabbits on the warren, a valuable commodity in the medieval economy. The structure survives as a low stone construction designed to capture small predators or vermin that threatened the rabbit population, demonstrating the intensive management practices applied to these enclosed hunting and breeding grounds. Legistor Warren itself comprises a complex of features including the warrener's lodge and boundary features scattered across the moorland landscape, of which this vermin trap forms an integral archaeological component.
