Overview

History & significance

Rabbit Warren is a Bronze Age archaeological site located on elevated moorland in Derbyshire, comprising a stone circle and associated field system. The stone circle represents ritual or ceremonial activity typical of the Bronze Age period, whilst the field system demonstrates contemporary agricultural land use and settlement patterns on the upland landscape. The combination of monumental and utilitarian features at this location provides evidence for Bronze Age land organisation and the integration of ceremonial and productive spaces within the prehistoric rural economy. The site's survival on moorland, where later agricultural intensification has been limited, has preserved these archaeological remains as an important record of prehistoric Derbyshire.
