Description
...The monument includes the Roman bath house outside the Roman fort at Castlesteads in wall mile 56. It is situated to the north east of the fort on artificial terraces cut into a south facing slope. Its remains survive as buried features below the turf cover and mature conifer trees. The bath house was located and partly excavated in 1741 by Susannah Maria Appleby. A series of rooms with hypocausts were uncovered which still had the supporting underfloor pillars and part of the flooring of white stone, 25cm thick. The site of the bath house was rediscovered by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England when they surveyed the fort at Castlesteads in 1991..... -
