Archaeologists find silver ring, a proof of Christianity in Roman Britain

Two trenches are examined and an outstandingly well preserved small plunge bath found in the second of the trenches. Dr. David Petts, who is coordinating a project that has entered into fifth week of sixth year of investigations, said, "There is also some really interesting evidence for the plumbing, including a drain in the base which seems to line up with some of the culverts we've picked out in the nearby floor".

Earlier, the structure was of a larger building with two rows of rooms, the one comprising the stable areas for the horses and one containing rooms where the men slept. Perhaps in the 4th century only, the whole structure was reduced to a smaller building.
