Strathclyde Country Park, at Motherwell, Scotland, landscaped about 15 years ago by the local authority parks department when they discovered the remains of a roman bath house, circa 200 AD.
Unfortunately because the remains were at a depth below the water table it would not be safe for the public to visit, so the site was excavated, photographed and all items numbered, then removed whilst the site was built up, the bricks were then replaced exactly on the spot above where they had first been discovered.
About 100 yards away is a bridge, also dated to about 200 AD.
The picture below is taken from a post card in my collection of the same Roman Bridge, the post office date stamp is for 21st August, 1922.
