More information : [TQ 22375567] ROMAN BATH [GS] (site of) (1) A Roman Villa, in the garden of "Windmill Bank" was discovered, in 1915. In 1939-40, the building was excavated by S.S. Frere and A.W.G. Lowther (4), a complete account appearing in 1950 (2). The site had been occupied during the latter part of the IA, and south-eastern 'B' and Patchgrove ware, potsherds, c. A.D. 10-43 were found in an occupation-layer of charcoal and burned and worked flint. A complex of later walling included a fragment dated c. A.D.100, followed by a Hadrianic ditch, in turn superseded by a tripartite corridor villa of c.250 A.D. Part of the bath building was excavated and an isolated circular structure investigated. The villa was partly rebuilt in the late 4th c. A.D. The remains had been robbed for stone and mutilated by gravel digging c.1250-1400 A.D. and be refuse including sherds dumped in the pits so formed.
