Monument record TQ 67 SW 1500 - Bath of Ebbsfleet Roman Villa Bath-House
Summary
A bath was identified during excavations in advance of the CTRL HS1. The remains form part of a detached bath-house built after 160AD and added to in several phases by the first half of the 3rd century (1).
This bath is from the 5th phase and was added immediately east of the warm room. This room is 2.50m by 1m and the walls consisted of three masonry elements; chalk, flint-built and yellow mortar-bonded.
If the furnace was operational during this time, the bath would have been a hot bath
