However instead of adding the entry "styx" to the domain, I accidently added "styx.e2eservices.co.uk"; this basically generated a child entry called "uk" under the "e2eservices.co.uk" zone that appears to replicate all entries that where originally in the zone (so for example I now have "styx.e2eservices.co.uk.e2eservices.co.uk", "foobar.e2eservices.co.uk.e2eservices.co.uk", etc.

I guess if absolutely necessary I could drop the domain and recreate it, but I'd prefer not to do this if at all possible. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can go about doing this?

You could try samba-tool on the DC, 'samba-tool dns zonelist 127.0.0.1 
-UAdministrator' will list all the zones, so if it is a separate zone, 
you should be able to delete it with 'samba-tool dns zonedelete 
127.0.0.1 <zone> -UAdministrator'
