I keep seeing people call that new Roman site in York a 'fort' and it's not right
The dig by the river found a stone building with hypocaust tiles and painted plaster, not a single defensive wall. I worked on a site near there in 2022 and the layout matches a large villa or a governor's residence, not a military post. Calling it a fort just because it's Roman and in Britain is lazy. Has anyone else looked at the floor plan and seen the bathhouse section?

That floor plan is clearly a villa, not a fort.
