Description:

In the south west corner of a central courtyard was a small cult building. The room had a sloped roof and was open on its eastern side. At the east end of the structure stood a small tufa altar which was originally coated in stucco. The northern wall was coated in stucco and featured simple line drawings. These included an aedicual structure which had a male figure standing in the centre holding a palm branch and three taeniae. The southern and western walls were also coated in stucco, but a rougher variety. Near the cult building was found a terracotta female head, apparently part of a statue.
