Name the trap...

[Blackdog92 2,047]

I was out ferreting at a spot the other day, this is a big spot and very deep, it’s been ferreted, shot and trapped forever and the bunnys are still there and long may they continue. 

Anyway, at the top of this banking there’s a old fence with a hedge along it that has been fixed here and there over the years so is a mass of wire, string and all sorts.

As I was setting some nets in the hedge I found this in the entrance of a hole covered in soil, hopefully someone can identify it to satisfy my curiosity.
