Chambers XXXIV. and XXXV. were both of equal size and 
had apsidal ends towards the west that appear to have had pilasters 
at the junctions of the circular and square parts. 
Both chambers had hypocausts of which thirteen pilz seem to 
have been standing in the first and two in the last. “The floor of 
the hypocaust upon which the pile were built was formed of 
concrete at a level of 2 feet 10 inches to 3 feet below the room 
floor above. The letter P marks the position of a hollow flue-tile 
4 inches square, built into the wall, the bottom of the opening 
being 2 feet 2 inches above the lower concrete floor. At Q is the 
aperture for the flame and heat from the furnace K. In all 
probability there was a duplicate opening at the corresponding 
point in the intervening wall, but the earth was not sufficiently 
removed to allow of access. The width of the aperture Q was 
1 foot 6? inches. At 1 foot 11 inches above the concrete floor, 
three successive courses of brick projected into its opening, and 
so, reducing its width, the next course of flat tile completely 
covered it. The top side of this tile is 2 feet 8 inches above the 
concrete floor. 
_ “At R, and at about 1 foot above the concrete floor, apparently 
erushed down from its proper position, were two small pieces of 
the tesselated pavement. In one there were three rows of Pennant 
(dull indigo colour), then four rows of white lias, succeeded by one 
row of Pennant, evidently part of the border or division, unless it 
formed a portion of a floor of geometrical design. In the second 




Section of west wall of chamber XXXIV. 
Outside of these chambers was found a drain 12 inches wide and
