Rabbit Warren 410m west and 310m north west of Beardown Farm is a post-medieval earthwork located in Devon, England. The site represents one of the commercial warrens that were established across southern England from the medieval period onwards to manage populations of rabbits for fur and meat production. The monument survives as a series of banks and ditches characteristic of warren management systems, reflecting the organised exploitation of game resources during the early modern period. Such installations were common features of the landscape in Devon and surrounding counties, where they formed part of the broader medieval and post-medieval agricultural and subsistence economy.
