Interconnected curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches are visible on lidar data captured between 2013 and 2016 in the plot of land south-west of Druxton, next to former building MDV68958. A curvilinear bank of approximately 5 metres in width and orientated roughly north-west is aligned with a field boundary to the south that is depicted on the 19th century mapping, and is likely to be the remains of a medieval field boundary. A possible trackway is approximately parallel to this feature, on its western side, and manifests as a ditch in two segments. Less substantial possible field boundary banks are visible adjoining and east of this trackway; those closest to the historic settlement of Druxton enclose two rectangular areas, perhaps house plots associated with medieval settlement in this hamlet.
