Summary

Small square room off the south wing corridor with no obvious features. This was interpreted as an estate office by Victorian excavators, apparently as numerous coins were found there, but this assumption is almost certainly wrong.

Description

A small square room that projects from the north wall of the corridor into the garden court. There are no obvious C4th features upstanding. The room was interpreted as an estate office by Victorian excavators, apparently as numerous coins were found there, but this assumption is almost certainly wrong especially as there is uncertainty over the location of the coin finds. The floor was laid to grass at the time of the management gazetteer, but opus signinum floor recorded below the current level. [SNA62028]
The buried mosaic survey found in situ opus signinum flooring in this room [SNA62068]
