More information : In 1883 there was discovered, about 50 yards S of the S rampart in
the garden of the (then) inn, a fragment of walling and "a pavement
of bright red concrete (pounded brick) with a raised border round
it"; it measured 10 1/2 ft by 6 ft. (Located accurately from the
excavator's plan to NY 6099 0117.) (1)
These remains, partly destroyed in 1933, probably represent the fort
bath building. (2)
Birley confidently classifies the remains excavated in 1883 S of the
fort as a bath house, this being the only external building so far
attested. (He notes in very general terms "surface indications" of
what may have been an external settlement to the S of the fort.) (3)
Sought during the RCHME: Howgill Fells Project; no trace and no local
knowledge of any structures in the garden of what is now Low Borrow
Farm. (4)
