The Roman villa and associated bath house situated 450 metres north west of Lower Field Farm in Oxfordshire is a scheduled ancient monument representing the residential and bathing infrastructure of a Romano-British estate. The site dates to the Roman period of occupation in Britain, likely spanning from the first to fourth centuries AD, and comprises the structural remains of a substantial villa complex typical of rural aristocratic or wealthy landowner settlement patterns. The bath house, a key feature of such establishments, indicates the property's affluence and the adoption of Romanised domestic practices among the British elite during the imperial occupation. Archaeological investigation has revealed evidence of the villa's architectural layout and the infrastructure associated with bathing facilities, contributing to understanding of domestic life and social hierarchy in Roman Britain.
