Summary

Large two storey buildings, one of which covered a cellar, were excavated during a rescue excavation in . This structure measured 8m by 4m, with a depth of over 2m, was notable for a pair of well-preserved windows, protected on the outside of the cellar by two small retaining walls, forming a light well.
