Mugginton is a deserted or shrunken medieval settlement located in Derbyshire, England, comprising the remains of a nucleated village and associated open field system. The settlement dates to the medieval period and is evidenced by surviving earthworks including house platforms, enclosures, and ridge-and-furrow cultivation patterns that characterise the open field agriculture of the era. The site represents a significant example of the medieval landscape organisation in the East Midlands, where such settlements and their field systems formed the basis of the manorial economy. The survival of these earthworks provides important archaeological evidence for understanding settlement patterns and land use practices in medieval Derbyshire.
