Rabbit warren 800m east of Woodlane Farm is a medieval monument located in Wiltshire, England. The site represents evidence of organised rabbit husbandry, a practice that became established in England following the Norman Conquest, with warrens becoming increasingly common from the twelfth century onwards. Such warrens were typically enclosed areas designed to contain and manage rabbit populations for meat and fur, which provided a valuable food resource for landowners and monastic communities. The physical remains visible at this location reflect the infrastructure of medieval rabbit management, though the specific earthworks and their current state of preservation would be characteristic of such agricultural features from the medieval period.
