comment:
"In the north-east chamber of the Bath-building which lies 90 m. south-east of Great Chesters fort" (RIB 1724)
Cf. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1010976 "The remains of a bath house 110m due south of the south east angle of the fort were visible until the end of 1987 when they were back filled to the surrounding ground level by English Heritage to avoid further deterioration. The bath house was excavated in 1897 by Gibson and again in 1908 by Simpson and Gibson. The excavations showed that it conformed to the usual design of military bath houses with the various hot, cold and intermediate rooms, together with furnaces, flues and a hypocaust system. It survives as a buried feature"
