Context Description:

In the NE wall a door with stepped threshold led to Room 5, originally the chapel. The chapel had probably once been brick-paved all over but the pavement survived only in front of the altar and in the form of a single brick against the SE wall. The walls had from three courses of burnt brick (in the SE wall) to nine, and stood to a total of 3.00 m. In the NE wall, near the east corner, there had been a doorway (not original) which was later walled up; near the north corner was a niche 0.20 m. deep rising to the full surviving height of the wall. In the north corner was a "table" 1.00 m. high and 0.50 m. sq. of burnt brick with panel decoration in its mud plaster standing on a burnt brick base 0.45 m. high and against, by the NW wall, remains of a brick altar; beyond this was a door to Room 6.2
