Kigbeare was Cacheberga in Domesday. It was held by Rainer de Langford of Baldwin the Sheriff. Before the conquest it was held by Sewiy, or Sawy. In 1166 the Black Book of the Exchequer shows that Roger de Langford held it. In 1241, Geoffrey Coffin was in possession of "Cakebear and Croffte".

South of Kigbeare Farm are two fields, Chapel Field and Old Town Mead. Old Town Mead contains surface irregularities, apparently house platforms and boundary banks. Chapel Field has no surviving surface indications and the Bishop's Registers contain no mention of a chapel at Kigbeare, certainly down to 1455.

The field name, Chapel Meadow may suggest the site of a chapel, although no confirming documentary evidence has been located. The east side of this field slopes down to the east. A low curving bank, about 40m long, is visible 5m from the boundary. The enclosed area also has an east-west bank dividing it into two, possibly to provide animal pens.
