Full Description
Rooms 1, 2 and 3 plus passage 1 and a yard, interpreted as a building. All of these rooms had traces of tessellated pavement. Along the north side of Room 3 was a flue made up of box tile but there was no sign anywhere of a stoke hole or a hypocaust. The later levels of this site (Site A/R) were only superficially examined.<1>
