Rabbit warren 180m north east of The Lawn is a medieval or post-medieval warren situated in Leicestershire. The site represents evidence of the organised management of rabbit populations, a practice that became established in England from the Norman period onwards, with many warrens intensifying in use during the medieval and early modern periods. Physical remains of such warrens typically include earthwork features such as pillow mounds, banks, and ditches that served to manage and contain the rabbit population, facilitating both sport and the supply of meat and fur to manorial estates. The precise dating and full extent of this particular warren require further archaeological investigation to establish its chronological sequence and relationship to The Lawn and surrounding landscape features.
