Frieston forms the southern end of the village of Caythorpe in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England.

It is part of the civil parish of Caythorpe. Local government has been arranged in this way since the reorganisation of 1 April 1974, which resulted from the 1972 Local Government Act. Hitherto, the parish had formed part of the Parts of Kesteven. Kesteven was one of the three divisions (formally known as parts) of the traditional county of Lincolnshire. Since the 1888 Local Government Act Kesteven had been, in most respects, a county in itself.

This seems to be an example of the migration of a village. Frieston is a name which belongs to the 5th century settlement of Britain by Anglo-Saxons, in this area mainly Angles, but in this case Frisians. The thorpe element of Caythorpe indicates a secondary settlement by Vikings, in this case probably Danes, at some time between 800 and 1050.^{[citation needed]}
