Description:
In the corner of a larger representation room in the northwest area of the property was a cult room. It had a quadrangular plan. The floor of the room had been preserved and was decorated with mosaic which included two stylised plant motifs centred around a curved feature. The property is only partially excavated and so the full context of the cult room is uncertain.
