No. 4 Niche Lane

Context Title: No. 4 Niche Lane     
Context Name (Publication): No. 4 Niche Lane1     
Context Description: The original entrance was direct from the end of Niche Lane into the central court, but after the house had been occupied for some time (as is shown by the floor levels) a doorway was put across the lane itself. Later, the threshold of this was raised 0.25 m. and a new jamb was built against the SW end of the wall of the chapel (No. 2), its foundations 1.20 m. above those of the wall, and in this way a small lobby was made on to which opened the doors of No. 2, No. 4 and No. 9.2
