Mildenhall Warren Boundary Banks is a linear earthwork located in Suffolk, England, comprising a series of banks and ditches that formerly defined the boundaries of Mildenhall Warren, a medieval rabbit warren. The monument dates to the medieval period and represents the physical infrastructure of commercial game management, a significant economic activity for landowners during the Middle Ages. The surviving earthworks retain evidence of their original function as boundary markers and contain features characteristic of warren management systems. Such monuments are important archaeological remains that document the medieval exploitation of marginal lands and the development of organised hunting and breeding practices in England.
