Victorian (?) drain and wooden soakaway, Upper Garden Court, Chedworth Roman Villa

The drain which crosses the west corridor portico emerges under the east wall of the corridor, and ends in a shallow depression in the garden court. Excavation in 2001 revealed that the drain dated from the first excavations at the villa site and that to the north-east was a 19th-C wooden box soakaway, presumably built to deal with water run-off from the covering shed to the west. [SNA62053]
Water still drains in to this area making it a particularly damp and bogy spot.[SNA62053]
[NB the sources for this monument disagree on the dating of the drain with Bethell referring to it as Roman while SNA62053 claims it, like the soakaway is of Victorian construction]
