Rabbit farming was an important part of the rural economy from medieval times through to the early twentieth century, and the archaeological remains of rabbit warrens still litter the countryside. This book describes the main archaeological features of warrens and discusses their date and function, the banks and walls used to contain the rabbits, the traps used to catch both them and their vermin predators, the lodges in which the warreners lived and kept their equipment and, above all, the buries or pillow bounds in which the rabbits were encouraged to reside.

Always well written and researched, and this one is no exception. We have all grown up with the Ladybird Books, and I know that these marvellous books are still popular read by thousands of children worldwide. ## ### The Archaeology of Rabblt Warrens: Rabbit farming was an important part of the rural economy from medieval times through to the early twentieth century, and the archaeological remains of rabbit warrens still litter the countryside. They are worthy of study in their own right, not least because the industry is poorly recorded in documentary sources. In addition, some of he characteristic features of warrens have caused confusion to archaeologists and have been misinterpreted as buildings or 'ritual structures' of Roman or prehistoric date. this book describes the main archaeological features of warrens and discusses their late and function, the banks and walls used to contain the rabbits, the traps used to catch both them and their vermin predators, the lodges in which the warreners lived and kept their equipment, and, above all, the 'buries' or pillow mounds in which the rabbits vere encouraged to reside. ### #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
