The buildings alone had covered six acres, and forty acres were occupied by the conyger or warren, the convent-garden, orchards, and meads.
ref: 1876, Mackenzie Edward Charles Walcott, Benedictine Abbey of S. Aldhelm, Malmesbury, page 35:
text: Apart from a terse and unsubstantiated assertion in the obsure medium of a journal relating to part of East Anglia (Crompton and Taylor 1971, 119 note 17 -- i.e. obscure from a Derbyshire perspective anyway, and reciprocated in not 12 here), the most appealing interpretation of The Buries seems not to have been considered hitherto: viz., as a constructed rabbit-warren, or conyger -- as much in need of high and dry land as flattened ridge-and-furrow which, on some of the same air-photographs, can be seen to coincide with them.
ref: 2004, Derbyshire Archaeological Journal - Volumes 124-126, page 248:

ref: 1928, The Law Times - Volume 165:
text: In 1316 an account of Kenfig town and castle furnishes the earliest evidence found for rabbit-farming in the country. This records the receipt of 2s. 6d. for 'a certain pasture which is called conynger,' its value having been reduced since its greater part had been submerged by the sea, damage undoubtedly caused by destruction or neglect of the sea defences during the uprising of Llywelyn Bren (1314-16). This rabbit warren, founded no doubt in the coastal dunes that were later to engulf the borough, was perhaps the same as that which figures in a grant of 1344 as the cuniculary of 'Berwes' (or Burrows).

text: So investors buy stablecoins not to make a profit but instead as a place to store money within the cryptocurrency infrastructure and to use when buying and selling other crypto assets.

ref: 2010, The Ecological Thought, →ISBN, page 51:
text: We cannot grasp, remember, measure, or even code junkspace. It is chaotic and aseptic at the same time. It marks the acceleration of formlessness and mutation. As form withers we are left with a directionless, transitory, indeterminate, promiscuous, and repressive space. Ian Buchanan explains junkspace is the residue of capitalism, a space that has been reduced to a mass-manufactured good.

ref: 2011, Ted Gournelos, David J. Gunkel, Transgression 2.0: Media, Culture, and the Politics of a Digital Age, →ISBN:
text: Patterns imply repetition or ultimately decipherable rules; Junkspace is beyond geometry, beyond pattern. Because it cannot be grasped, Junkspace can not be remembered. It is flamboyant yet unmemorable, like a screen saver, its refusal to freeze insuring instant amnesia. Circulation Junkspace is often described as a space of flows, but that is a misnomer; flows depend on disciplined movement, bodies that cohere.
