  • Traces of courses of tartara and mortar lying horizontally. P.V.S. measure 8-10 x 12-20, are roughly squared and laid in regular but rough courses with mortar beds varying largely in height. Mortar is white-gray with small-medium pozzolana inclusions along with small stones, unreacted lime, and small terracotta pieces. Limestone chunks are frequent towards western area indicating that a heavier aggregate was used in lower portions of walls they are no longer apparent after c. 2.40 m. Entire wall collapse extends approximately 4.7 meters in height, possibly preserving two stories.
  • wall collapse is preserved all at same level, following slope of ground; few holes within debris visible that indicate windows/putlog holes in elevation
