- Interpretation blocking of door in a later phase than the addition of the stair in the round structure. Seems identical in date to blocking of opening 6252 as both use parts of reticulate walls as material.

DescriptionBlocking of the east door of the round structure, with a base of 18 cms of solid mortar, considered part of the blocking because it protrudes in relation to the wall. The facing inside the round structure seems to have been left unfinished with rectangular tufa blocks irregularly placed, while the east side was intended to imitate the neighboring reticulate of cubiliae.
