Description
Long, narrow east-west aligned corridor, linking Rooms 1, 1a, 1b, 2 and 3 in the south wing of the C4th house. The corridor is on two levels and a modern wooden staircase joins the two parts, although as the width of the corridor differs across the levels it is unclear how representative of the original corridor this interpretation is. The ground level is laid to tarmac and the link to the east portico is blocked by a blank wall. Although no mosaics were found to be present below the corridor, little else is known of the buried archaeology along its length. The northern wall of the corridor also acts as a retaining wall for the garden court area [SNA62028].
The buried mosaic survey did not reveal any floor level in this room but recorded constructional make-up / levelling deposits [SNA62068]
