Location Context Title Context Description Description (Modern)
Court 3 (none) (none)
Room 2 In Room 2 there was a pavement of burnt bricks (0.235 m. X 0.155 m.) so roughly laid that it was probably a base for a clay floor - which was confirmed by the fact that a brick door-socket against the SW wall was above pavement level; the same repairs had taken place in Room 5, where the NE jamb of the door from the main court was an addition and did not go down quite to pavement level but was based on a fragment of a quern resting on the pavement. Clearly the three service chambers formed a unit which was, more or less distinct from the chapel proper. The repairs were visible in the NE wall also, for here the bricks in the lower courses measured 0.265 m. in length while above them the 0.235 m. brick was consistently employed. The door to Room 1 had been blocked, or its threshold raised, at a late period. (none)
