Warrening enclosure 1.07km east of High Rigg Farm is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, England, representing medieval exploitation of land for rabbit farming. The enclosure dates to the medieval period, when warrening—the controlled breeding and management of rabbits for meat and fur—became an established agricultural practice on English estates. The monument consists of an enclosed area defined by surviving earthworks and boundaries that would have contained the warren where rabbits were bred under semi-controlled conditions. Such warrens were valued medieval resources, often marked by distinctive physical features including bank and ditch systems designed to contain and manage rabbit populations.
