Room 6

Context Title: Room 6     
Context Name (Publication): Room 61     
Context Description: Chapel1     
Context Description: Room 6 was part of No. 1 Old Street and had the blocked doorway in its NW wall, the new altar being against the blocking, for this was the chapel. The altar was 0.35 m. high and against it in the west corner was the "table" of burnt and mud brick still standing to 1.00 m.; on the other side was a smaller low brick base. The chapel was originally paved. The NE wall had been altered; the SE jamb of its doorway had been cut, not built, and at the NW end the old brickwork had been cut away 0.20 m. from the corner of the room and a new stretch of wall abutted on it. The SW wall (which had twenty-two courses of burnt brick) had a door which had been blocked up.2
