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 will probably have to delete the dns records, one by one, try 
investigating 'samba-tool dns --help'
