Two Headland Warren boundary stones, 275m and 430m north of Birch Tor
Devon
Two Headland Warren was a managed rabbit warren, likely established in the medieval period when rabbit farming was a valuable enterprise on Dartmoor. The boundary stones that defined its extent still stand on the moorland north of Birch Tor, marking the invisible lines that once enclosed this resource. Such warrens were common across the moor, reflecting how people shaped and exploited the landscape for centuries.
Today the stones are simple granite markers set into the grass, easy to miss among the wider moorland. Their presence speaks to a working history of Dartmoor that has largely faded, when the moor was divided into territories and rights of use were carefully guarded. Walking here, you can trace the old boundaries and imagine the warren keepers who tended them.
