Warrening enclosure on Flainsey Rigg is a medieval earthwork situated approximately 1.5 kilometres east of Low Dalby in Yorkshire. The site comprises an enclosed area associated with rabbit warrening, a practice of controlled breeding and hunting of rabbits that became established in medieval England as a significant source of meat and fur. The enclosure is defined by surviving earthen banks and ditches that once served to contain and manage the warren population within defined bounds. Such warrening enclosures represent an important aspect of medieval land management and resource exploitation in upland regions of northern England.
