My book on historic rabbit warrens in England is published on 13th Nov by Liverpool Uni Press and I'm pleased to have received my advance copies. The perfect Xmas gift for any rabbit warren-obsessed nerd, of which there are no doubt many such people.

🌳Fascinating site visit to Ambresbury Banks in #EppingForest this week with Historic England.
It's one of two Iron Age Hillforts which the City of London Corporation conserves at this site.

Raking shadows thrown by low sun emphasise the terraced banks of an extensive IronAge/#RomanoBritish field system on the steep N-facing slopes of Burderop Down, Wilts. ... AND the ditches of a #medieval sheepfold that cut across them.

#Archaeology 🏺 #LSG2026
Poster text, shortened for ALT text: Resilient Landscapes - applying archaeological survey and understanding to holistic Nature Recovery. Fri 6 & Sat 7 November 2026. Memorial Hall, Pickering & the North York Moors National Park. The Landscape Survey Group’s 2026 conference will combine a day of in-person presentations followed by a day visiting the North York Moors. The conference will explore the growing role of landscape archaeology in shaping nature recovery, climate resilience and long-term land management. It seeks to bring together archaeologists, heritage/ecology/conservation professionals, land managers and community groups to consider how applied archaeological knowledge and investigation can help support better decision-making. At a time when environmental change is accelerating, this conference asks how the deep-time perspective of landscape archaeology can help shape more resilient futures. By reading the past carefully, we can act in ways that respect complexity, protect heritage, restore ecological value and strengthen the relationship between people and place. Papers are sought on how archaeological evidence, historic landscape character, traditional land-use and community memory can all contribute to more integrated approaches to nature recovery. Focus will be placed on recent case studies where landscape archaeology has helped develop collaborative, landscape-level restoration and recovery strategies. Projects may include (but need not be restricted to) improving biodiversity, habitat creation or other landscape management work. Presentations should show how archaeological survey, including field observation and recording, aerial survey methodologies and local knowledge can reveal not only what survives, but how that understanding can support practical management, partnership working and wider public benefit. To contribute a 20min paper or a poster, please send titles & abstracts (250 words max) to andrew.burn@historicengland.org.uk by 31 July.

Had a great morning in the Staffordshire landscape, being given a tour by Ian of @enricharch.bsky.social of the long-term Tudor farming project he's been involved with. I was so engrossed in hearing about the various lumps & bumps, I only took one photo!!
