Full Description
{1} Settlement remains, formerly part of the hamlet of Duncote, lie on the north side of the existing houses, on Upper Lias Clay at 104m above OD. The settlement is not recorded until 1227 but it must be much older. In 1301 eight taxpayers are listed in the Lay Subsidy for Duncote but hereafter nothing is known of its size until the late 19th century.
In the early 18th century it was described as a hamlet. In 1874 it was said to contain 18 houses; it is now smaller. The only earthworks associated with Duncote are some slight traces of abandoned ditched closes behind the farm at the north west end of Duncote (SP 6725 5084) and a group of small rectangular closes bounded by low scarps to the north west of the houses on the south east side of the settlement.
