Perhaps confusion begins with the name of the Ecclesiastical Parish: "Ditton Wood St. Mary" https://ukga.org/index.php?pageid=853

I think the town was never named Wood Ditton as evidenced below:

The burial locale is historically impossible. He may have been buried in what would later become Litchfield the town or Litchfield the county, but neither existed at the time.
First: No counties existed in Connecticut Colony until 1666.
Second: Litchfield (town) founded 1719 – originally "Bantam Township"
Third: Litchfield County founded 1751

Before 1719, the the Paugussett had controlled the region.

If he was killed and buried where Litchfield county would later be named, the generic name we in Connecticut call the region nowadays is the "Northwest Hills".
