The remains of a Roman farmhouse were found during an excavation of the common in 1955, as well as later Saxon remains. These were not considered to be worth retaining in an exposed condition and so the area was re-covered.

The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded 'Bixa' as being within the Hundred of Binfield. The village has been identified as Byxe/Bixa Gibwin/Gibwyn at various times.

The Warburg Nature reserve found in Bix Bottom is one of the largest nature reserves in Oxfordshire owned and managed by Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust it has an important selection of Chilterns Flora and Fauna.
