Warren is a group of three pillow mounds located at Smardale Demesne, approximately 950 metres south-west of Holme Farm in Westmorland, England. Pillow mounds are earthwork features, typically elongated and rounded in form, constructed during the medieval period and later to create warrens for the management and breeding of rabbits, which were an important source of meat and fur for landowners. These examples at Smardale Demesne represent medieval or early post-medieval agricultural land management practices, reflecting the value placed on rabbit husbandry as a form of animal husbandry by the local estates.
