The southern face is built of opus reticulatum with cubiliae 6.8-10.0 cm high and quoined with alternating courses of brick and square tuff blocks at the juncture with 6067 and 6091, extending .67 m west of 6091 and .50 m east of 6067. This face has four recognizable layers of plaster finish. The other face is entirely unfinished and constructed from roughly coursed rows of faced blocks of yellow tuff set into deep mortar beds and with mortar at times smoothed over the blocks.
- At the juncture of 6068 and 6067 where 6068 abuts, plaster remains on the east face of 6067 in between the walls. An offset of 7 cm in a single course of unworked stone exists on the north face.
