Abstract:		 On the easternmost tip of Brean Down, Somerset, there lies a roughly circular mound of unidentified provenance. Set far apart from the prehistoric barrows and cairns that dot Brean Down's peaks, this mound has received little attention and only the most cursory archaeological investigation until now. Given that this mound lies outside of the scheduled area it was prudent to conduct a detailed investigate to ensure that appropriate protection was afforded to it. This study seeks to determine the origin and purpose of the mound, and in doing so assess its significance as a heritage asset. By combining a desk based assessment with non-intrusive and intrusive fieldwork, this study sought to reassess previous interpretations of the mound. Having considered alternative interpretations, this dissertation will argue that the evidence suggests that the mound in question is an artificial rabbit warren, dating from the post-medieval period.
