Description:
Located on the west wall was an arched niche, which sat 0.80m above the ground. The base of the niche projected from the wall and was constructed from masonry. The interior of the niche was plastered. The property was largely decayed before the eruption of Mt Vesuvius and so the shrine's full context within the property is unknown.
