Sigford is first mentioned in 1086 the Domesday Book as the manor of ‘Sigeforda’ although it is likely to have been in existence earlier than this. Later, medieval references demonstrate that occupation on the site has been continuous for at least a millennium. Accordingly, Sigford is archaeologically significant due to its evidential value as the potential for the presence of buried archaeology reflecting its long occupation is high.
