The main villa buildings of Minster Roman Villa were set either inside or around a large rectangular walled enclosure. Situated immediately outside the south-west comer of the walled enclosure lay Building 6 which was one of a pair of structures located at the southern end of the villa enclosure wall, some 80m downhill to the south of the main villa house. Building 6 was first located during extensive trenching undertaken across the site in 2002. It was fully excavated over the next two seasons, with the northern half being examined in 2003 and the southern half in 2004. It had several phases, initially the buildings appeared to mirror each other but then this was extensively re modelled to form a fairly large bath house with both hot and cold romans and baths. This building was demolished and replaced with a simple two room structure, very similar in plan to the pre bath house building. Overall, it would seem that the construction, occupation and abandonment of the initial building and its extended form as a bath house falls entirely within the second century. The structure was probably finally demolished around AD 200. The re constructed building was possibly in use for around 50 years with the abandonment sometime during the second half of the third century.
