Room 2

Context Title: Room 2     
Context Name (Publication): Room 21     
Context Description: Central Court1     
Context Description: Central court (2) with a drain in the middle which showed obvious signs of reconstruction; half of the west wall and all the south wall were destroyed, but the remainder contained a curious mixture of burnt and mud bricks, parts of the walls being of mud bricks throughout, but elsewhere there were patches of burnt bricks at different levels and one door-jamb in the east wall was of burnt brick for its full height; it could only mean that before the existing pavements were laid the house had been completely ruined and had then been rebuilt on the same lines, using the stumps of the old walls as foundations and using also a good deal of the old fallen material. It is probable that at this time the chapel was built on the site of rooms which had once opened off the south side of the court.2
