Bath house

Back to main survey Great Britain

Here one of the presumably best preserved buildings at the Antonine Wall is to be seen 

It is a question of the bath house of the fort.

This was, in a annex, east of the fort which is not today anymore visible. The precise construction and scales of the fort are not known to me.

From the bath house all rooms are to be seen: Apodyterium, frigidarium, tepidarium, laconium, caldarium and latrines.

The foundations of a room that was presumably never used indicate, that the construction of the bath house was changed still during the building.

Wall sectionAt two places short sections of the wall were laid open. It is the stone foundation, over which one the turf was, visible. These sections are on the cemetery and in the "Roman Park". In the latter one the ditch before the wall is to make out weakly.
