Notes about this historic site
1 The possible extent of Medieval settlement, based on the first edition 6″ map of 1886, 46SW.
2 The ridge and furrow plotting of the parish of Burton Dassett shows widespread survival, and extensive earthworks at Little Dassett.
3 The 1886 map shows the Old Chapel and very few buildings. There seems to be a boundary hedge on the eastern edge, but no sign of settlement to the west. It is not listed in Domesday.
