Caves at Drury Hill is a series of artificial rock-cut chambers located in Nottinghamshire. The caves represent medieval quarrying and domestic occupation activity, with evidence suggesting use from at least the medieval period onwards. The site consists of interconnected chambers cut into the sandstone bedrock, demonstrating the exploitation of local geological resources for both building material and habitable space. Such cave systems are characteristic of Nottinghamshire's sandstone geology and reflect the practical adaptation of the landscape for settlement and economic purposes during the medieval and early modern periods.
