==Etymology== The name Dunchideock originates in the Common Brittonic language. First attested in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Donsedoc, the first part of the name derives from the word whose modern Welsh form is ("fort"), while the second part is the adjective found in modern Welsh as ("wooded"). The form of the Dun-element later changed by association with the Old English word ("hill"). According to W. G. Hoskins, the place-name originally referred to the nearby Iron Age hill fort of Cotley Castle.
