Monument record TR 36 SW 484 - Bath House - Minster Roman Villa
Summary
A detached bath-house which comprised a comparatively small, rectangular building, measuring 9.55m (N-S) by 7.15m (E-W), with an external apse on the west side, was discovered alongside Roman Villa complex at Minster. Its presence was suggested by cropmarks but it was confirmed by archaeological investigations in 1997 and 1998. The pottery and coin evidence suggest that the structure was first erected sometime during the late first or early second century and it was probably abandoned in the early third century.
