The small opening visible in the foreground is a duct for underfloor heating. The raised area behind it is the First Warm Room (Image). The view is from the Second Warm Room; this would also have had a raised flagged floor, but, to show what lay beneath, the underlying pillars (to support the flagtones) have been exposed to view, and the intervening spaces filled with gravel. The cold bath (Image) can also been seen from here. In the background is a plinth with an information panel on it (Image), near the gate that is the entrance to the site.
