Overview

History & significance

Warrening enclosure 1.08km north east of High Paper Mill Farm is a medieval warren installation located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises an enclosed area that represents the physical infrastructure of rabbit warren management, a practice that became increasingly common in medieval and early post-medieval England as a means of controlling and harvesting rabbits for food and fur. The enclosure structure reflects the deliberate human modification of landscape for animal husbandry purposes, typical of the organised warren systems that developed from the Norman period onwards. Such installations were significant economic features within the manorial system, providing a reliable source of protein and tradeable commodities to their controlling lords or institutions.
