Curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches, visible on lidar data captured between 2013 and 2016, may have been associated with medieval settlement at Druxton. Possible house plots, field boundaries and trackways may once have been present north of the current settlement.

Interconnected curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches are visible on lidar data captured between 2013 and 2016 in the plot of land north of Druxton. A possible trackway is visible as a conjoined curvilinear ditch up to approximately 7 metres wide, bordered by narrower banks that are likely to be former field boundaries. Additional banks are visible and parallel curvilinear banks may have an origin as medieval strip fields. A curvilinear ditch close to the historic settlement of Druxton seems to enclose smaller areas, perhaps delineating house plots associated with deserted medieval settlement. These features are not depicted on the available historic mapping and are likely to have gone out of use by the late-19th century.
