Description	This small plunge bath measures 1.40 m north south-by-1.20 m east west and it is 1.25 m in depth. As can be seen from the trench plan, it juts out from the main north south wall of the bath complex. Its construction is sturdy with well-dressed ashlars set in two rows, and its interior walls still bear traces of plaster and hydraulic plaster, and the west wall still has its marble facing (0.07 m in thickness) in situ. Small-inscribed marble fragments were found in the fill and the largest (Seq. No. 127951), a reused fragment, was recovered inscribed face up still attached to the floor. Metal stanchions were recovered still attached to some of the room wall ashlars to keep the revetments in place. There is a step or a bench for seating, 1.30 m in north south length-by-0.30 in east west width and 0.30 m in depth. The west wall has an opening 0.72 m, which was filled in antiquity. The threshold measures 1.08 m north south-by-0.39 m east west width, and it is positioned 0.07 m above the wall ashlar threshold below it. Doorjambs are positioned on both the east and west sides of the entry, but the entry opening it are foreshortened by ashlars that have been added on either sides. Flanking its north and west walls is an area that has been purposefully flattened, perhaps for canalization. The north wall is composed of five well-hewn sandstone ashlars, there are also five courses of ashlars on the west and south, but the entry door takes the place of the upper courses of ashlars on the east. All of the ashlars are wet-laid with mortar. Obviously this room was the socle for some sort of superstructure, but it is not clear as just how it worked. The second ashlar from the south in the upper course has a hole in the lowest interior stone course measuring 0.15 m in height-by-0.12 m in width. An overflow valve with a lead pipe exists in the north corner of the room 0.09 m above the floor. The hole for water measured 0.08 m-by-0.15 m-by-0.06 m in depth. A robbed out floor canalization pipe was also discovered at the same level as the original floor. The bath system seems to have been planned as a single unit and it appears that it is on the same axis of orientation as the Great Temple, northwest to southeast. This locus along with others of the bath complex appears to be self-contained elements in an overall design that physically distinguish different areas of the baths.
