Little or West Chalfield is one of the two manors at Chalfield recorded in Domesday, the other being Great or East Chalfield. Great Chalfield is well known, whereas Little Chalfield has been almost invisible. The project’s original aim was to try to confirm the alleged site of Little Chalfield’s chapel with a geophysical survey following an analysis of newly available LIDAR data, and this was then widened to search for evidence of the earlier manor house and dovecote.
