Full Description
To the west of CAT Building 13, an area of cultivated soil was defined that had clearly been a garden, although there was a curious shallow foundation (CF197) made of septaria set in sand, which was hard to explain in terms of the garden plan. The garden may have been an area of cultivation since c.AD 49. Its relationship with CAT Buildings 11 and 12 was very distinct. <1>
