Located in the north corner of a courtyard was a cult building. The structure faced the south and had a rectangular form with two cellae. During its early phases, it is believed that the structure was decorated with stucco. By the 4th c. A.D. the structure had been decorated with marble slabs. An altar to Mars was also found within the property but it is uncertain if this was related to the cult building.
