The Manorial Documents Register maintained by the HMC lists this manor, although no records are known (1998). There are however references to Llandegang in the NLW schedules to Penpont Supplementary (pp. 337, 345, 381, 383), and Talbot (p. 227).

In a newspaper article on the sale of the Lockwood manors, there is a manor spelt 'Llandigin' (Western Mail, 16 April 1997)].
