Frilford is a village and civil parish in Oxfordshire, England (formerly in Berkshire). It lies 3 miles west of Abingdon, at the junction of the A415 and A338 roads. There is no church in Frilford, and the village is part of the ecclesiastical parish of Marcham. Abingdon Preparatory School - a preparatory school - is situated in Frilford. The parish of Frilford contains two significant archaeological sites: a Roman villa and a cemetery which appears to have been used for both Roman and Saxon style burials. A further complex of remains, including a Roman shrine and amphitheatre, is often referred to as being in Frilford but lies to the south of the village, just inside the boundary of the parish of Marcham. This latter site is commonly called the 'Noah's Ark' site, after an adjacent inn. The Noah's Ark site is under investigation by archaeologists from Oxford University in 2008.
