A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Little Chalfield with Cottles from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"CHALFIELD (Little), AND COTTLES, an extra-parochial tract in Bradford district, Wilts; contiguous to Great Chalfield, 3½ miles W of Melksham. Acres: 560. Population: 43. Houses: 7. The manor belonged to the Eyres; and the manor house is Tudor."

Little Chalfield with Cottles was made a civil parish in 1857 and was absorbed, along with Great Chalfield, into Atworth in 1885. (Source:Wikipedia)
