General description of the space
Rectangular space (3,60 - 4,00 x 5,90 m), with two central stone piers on the axis East - Wes. The space is composed by a main room and a rectangular closet (III 11 a). It is accessible by the outdoor space but also, in a limited way, by Space III 3 bis.
The walls are preserved at a height of 0,20 to 1,65 m. In front of the entrance from the Placette Est lie two steps; on the second one there is a longitudinal groove pointing to the existence of a closing device. The threshold is made by slabs of "sideropetra".
The closet, in the South-East corner of the space, is delineated by a partition wall and a shear wall containing numerous spolia. In the Northern partition wall there is a square window (d=0,30 m, h= 0,32 m). The Western wall is poorly preserved, which does not allow us to situate the exact position of the door. The floor level was probably a little higher than the rest of the space.
Close to the entrance, a trough was found, placed on blocks of "sideropetra" and above an older trough. Another trough is found in the closet, below the window, also with a foundation of blocks of "sideropetra", while a third trough was found between this one and the Western wall.
