Fifield is a village and civil parish about 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Burford in Oxfordshire.
The toponymy is probably a transliteration of its Old English name of Fifhides.
The Domesday book of 1086 records Fifield:
“Henry de Ferrers holds Fifield There are five hides. Land for seven ploughs. Now in demesne 2 ploughs and 4 slaves and 9 villans with 4 bordars have 5 ploughs. There are 24 acres of meadow. Pasture one league in length and one breadth. It was and is worth 100 shillings.”
