Abstract: Pillow mounds, long grassy tumps evident in the landscape, were constructed quite widely in Gloucestershire to facilitate the breeding of rabbits for both their meat and their fur. Many probably date from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Documentary evidence of the management of the rabbit warrens in the county, however, is not common. The survival of seventeenth-century memoranda and leases about Lasborough warren has provided a picture of this specialised form of husbandry.
