- Pier of wall in alternating courses of red brick and yellow rectangular tuff blocks entirely of the masonry seen in the quoins of reticulate walls of the villa complex's first phase. Extends .29 m south of the juncture with wall 6069 and .14 m north forming two pilasters. Plastered in west, south, and east face. Broken evenly on the top south side, and roughly on the top north side. To the south is a gap with a flat plastered threshold extending into the section, presumably a door. The north stretch beyond the faced pier (or pilaster) is robbed out and broken - see SU 6100 for the north extent beyond this.
