It would appear that the rabbit has some connection with the shire. The
following is excerpted from the placenames-msg file in the SCA-STORIES
section of my Florilegium files:

=========
Shittemwoode: official explanation: the wood that the arc of the covenant
  was made from.  Unofficial: hey, this was the group that Fast Eddie --
  er, excuse me, Viscount Sir Edward Zifran -- founded.  And they have
  a drowning rabbit carrying a shepards crook for their arms...
