Room 2

Context Title: Room 2     
Context Name (Publication): Room 21     
Context Description: Central Court1     
Context Description: Room 2, the courtyard, of which the pavement remained in the south corner only. Under it were two larnax burials and a small brick vaulted tomb (wrecked). The walls, with six courses of burnt brick, were shallow and late in date; the SW wall was very crooked - apparently to compensate, inside the Room 4, for a projection in the SW wall which would have made the west end unduly narrow; the NW wall was a poor patchwork in which the burnt brick failed altogether towards the north corner and was replaced by mud brick of very poor quality which (in Room 3) merely abutted on the older NE wall.2
