Rabbit Warren 180m north east of The Lawn is a post-medieval warren site located in Leicestershire. The monument represents evidence of the organised management of rabbit populations for food and fur production, a practice that became increasingly formalised from the medieval period onwards but reached particular prominence during the post-medieval era. The warren would have consisted of earthwork features including banks, ditches, and possibly pillowed ground characteristic of such sites, which served to contain and manage the rabbit colonies. This example contributes to the archaeological record of rural subsistence and small-scale animal husbandry in the English countryside.
