Described by Eric Hemery (1983) as “a walled pit measuring 10 ½ feet by 3 feet 4 inches.” Vag Hill Warren was a rabbit warren (of a few on Dartmoor) which R.G. Haynes remarked was “about 520 acres” and that “the 1613 lease defines the area of the warren which lay between the River Dart, Yar Tor, and Corndon Tor.” It is the best example in the area.
