Monument record TQ 67 SW 1762 - Hypocaust building (Building 8) located at the Roman settlement at Springhead
Summary
A small Roman building with a hypocaust was located to the north of the temple complex during excavations undertaken at Springhead. The building is located off the branch road which leads towards the Roman settlement area from Watling Street. It is relatively isolated but may be associated with another larger building situated c.7m to the north west. The function of this building is not known, and the hypocaust does not appear to have been used. (location accurate to the nearest 10m based on available information)
