Oaklands Farm Roman villa is a Romano-British villa site located in Oxfordshire. The villa dates to the Roman occupation period and represents the type of high-status rural settlement that characterised Romano-British landholding during the later Roman period. Archaeological investigation has revealed evidence of substantial stone structures typical of villas of this era, indicating the site was occupied by a wealthy landowner with sufficient resources to construct permanent masonry buildings rather than timber structures. The site contributes to our understanding of rural settlement patterns and the degree of Roman cultural integration among the British provincial elite during the Imperial period.
