Description:
Located in a small apsed room off the peristyle was a potential shrine. Found in the room was a small arula, carved from limestone which stood 6cm tall. It was found with numerous nails and a bag of ash. It is possible that there had been some form of shrine, perhaps wooden due to the nails being present.
