Roman milestone said to have been discovered in 1841 in a field called ' Six Acres ' on Webb's Farm [W. Lyon, Chronicles of Finchampstead, 5-7 ; Kempthorne, The Devil's Highway, 12]. Traces of a camp on the hill on which the church stands. In another field a quantity of Roman bricks and pottery [Proc. Soc. Antiq. (ser. i) iv. 283]. The Reading Museum exhibits a Roman colander and vase from this parish. FRILFORD. This is a hamlet of Marcham, a village 3 miles west of Abingdon. Roman remains had already been discovered here when, in 1884, Mr. Aldworth, a large landowner in the district, who had for some years been struck by the quantity of tiles and potsherds on the surface of a field bordering the road from Frilford to Kingston Bagpuize, requested Dr. A. J. Evans and Professor Moseley to examine the ground. Excavations were begun with the result that the whole ground plan of a small house of the corridor type and an adjacent building or bathhouse were laid bare [Arch. Journ. liv. 340-354].

There were twelve rooms varying in size the largest (N) 29 feet by 9 feet, the smallest (K) 6J feet by 9 feet the walls were 2 feet thick and of rubble masonry. Most of the rooms were paved with concrete. In the hypocaust chamber (O) were found traces of a tessellated pavement, unfortunately broken up by the plough, which consisted of small cubes of white stone and terra-cotta. Most of the mural painting, too, was discovered here and showed a considerable variety of colours. The pilae of the hypocaust were not, as is usually the case, of tiles, but of roughly-split slabs of the oolite of the country. The rooms E, F, G, probably had windows looking into the covered corridor A. The foundations of the second building were found at a distance of 88 feet from the north-east corner of this house. Only two chambers (P, Q) could be traced, one of which (P) seems to have been a hot-water reservoir ; the floor and walls were coated with brickdust cement over an inch in thickness. On moving the floor a rounded cavity like a well was discovered on its eastern side about 4^ feet deep and formed of large oolite 207
