Rabbit warren 580m and 660m south east of Fitzroy Farm is a post-medieval artificial warren situated in Wiltshire. The site comprises two separate warren complexes established to manage populations of domestic rabbits for meat and fur production, a practice that became widespread across England from the medieval period onwards but flourished particularly in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The physical remains consist of earthworks characteristic of such installations, including banks and ditches that would have contained and controlled the rabbit populations within defined enclosures. This monument represents an important aspect of post-medieval rural economy and land management in the English countryside.
