Mount Misery and Bakers Warren is a pair of eighteenth-century rabbit warrens located in Yorkshire, England. These earthworks represent the physical remains of commercial rabbit farming, a practice that supplied meat and fur to both local and wider markets during the early modern period. The site comprises distinctive artificial mounds and associated landscape features characteristic of managed warren systems, where rabbits were semi-domesticated within enclosed or partially enclosed ground. Such warrens were common features of the medieval and early modern English countryside, though their use became increasingly organized and profitable during the Georgian era.
