Summary : Site of the bath house attached to the Roman fort of Segedunum. It was uncovered by workmen in the 19th century and removed. No visible remains and the area has been built over.
More information : [NZ 30036589] Roman remains found [T.I.] (1) The bath-house seems to have lain S.W. of the fort nera the old Fawdon Staithe (2), where, in 1814, workmen came across Roman masonry, apparently the remains of a considerable building. Coins and a cauldron were also found. (2-3) Structure conceived to be a bath near the river bank. It was immediately removed, but marked on plan. [Plan marking agrees the the Ordnance Survey siting above.] (4) Completely built over. (5) According to Maclauchlans Map of 1857 (authy 4) the site of this bath-house appears to lie about 121m south of the south-west corner of the fort and not at the published site. Apart from this I could find no further information. (6)
