Description
CMHTS Comment:- A rectangular insula which has extensive cropmarks, mostly at the edges. The northwest corner was excavated by Wright (SA 06457) but it apparently lies out of ?position [<2>]. To the south lies a courtyard house whose north side may be the building excavated by Wright. In the south west corner of the insula are two rectilinear buildings side by side, one with an apsed end. The other major building complex lies in the north east corner and consists of the courtyard building excavated by Kenyon ( SA 06459) and, apparently part of the same complex, a courtyard with, on its east side, a cluster of rooms. <1>
