Dodwell Deserted Post Medieval Settlement, Luddington.

1 Dodwell appears to have been wholly enclosed at some time before 1704. Since then the ancient hamlet of Dodwell, which consisted of some half-dozen houses a little to the N of the modern farm house, has disappeared.
3 Poor archaeology (C), no historical information whether the name belonged to more than a Manor, Grange etc.
4 Area likely to be the site of Dodwell. 17th – 18th century pottery picked up especially in one small area. Information from owner. Field to NE marked as ‘Old House Field’.
5 Dodwell is a deserted site, represented by only a single farm, but the original village site was located during field survey. Houses stood beside a field called Dodwell Green in 1704 and stone foundations are still visible.
7 The village street is visible as a narrow, winding, ditch-like feature. It is better preserved to the N. A branch runs for a short distance NE towards a spring. A number of separate raised areas exist, each representing the enclosure of one or a number of houses. On one stone foundations are still visible. The site is entirely surrounded by ridge and furrow. The site is under grass and in a reasonably good state of preservation.
8 Noted by Ordnance Survey.
9 Trackway through village clearly visible and a report of a cobbled surface found during building work.
