Carfax Conduit is a sixteenth-century water supply structure located in the parish of Nuneham Courtenay in Oxfordshire. The conduit was constructed to serve Oxford's Carfax area, drawing water from springs in the Nuneham locality and delivering it via underground pipes to the city centre. Built during the Tudor period, it represents an important example of early modern infrastructure engineering and demonstrates the lengths to which urban centres were prepared to go to secure reliable water supplies. The surviving remains of the conduit system, located southwest of Nuneham House, constitute a significant archaeological monument documenting the material culture of sixteenth-century water management.
