Description
The southern extremity of the Crai Rabbit farm lies in this Ordnance Survey quarter sheet (SN81NE). The remains comprise three pit traps, two pillow mounds, a linear bank and a drainage ditch.
The traps are stone lined pits, now partly filled in. Two, at SN87291999 and SN87221988, are rectangular in plan and up to 0.7m deep. The third one, at SN86971988, is oval and 0.1m deep.
The pillow mounds lie at SN86961999 (37m long N-S by 4m and 1m high, ditched on the west side) and SN86951991 (37m long northeast-southwest by 4m and 1.2m high, stone revetted on the east side, ditched on the west side). The linear mound at SN86951996 is possibly a further pillow mound; it measures 51m north-south by 3.5m and 0.8m high and is ditched on the west side.

The northern extent of this farm lies in map quarter sheet SN82SE (see NPRN 24378). Features related to rabbit farming also lie to the south-west within a walled enclosure at the southern end of Cefn Cul and are reported as a separate farm (84382) though both may have been managed as one.
