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.
