NS 729 578. A Roman bath-house was discovered in 1973 close to the left bank of the South Calder Water 95m NW of Bothwellhaugh Roman fort (NS75NW 2). It was fully excavated in 1975 before the area was to be flooded by an artificial loch. It was a normal type with a coldroom, two warm rooms, a hot room and a semi-circular plunge bath (which was apparently a secondary addition).
Brick, tile, and sherds of Antonine date were recovered.
