East Wall
Description
Henrik Boman & Monica Nilsson
From north to south, the E wall comprises an abutment of lava stones, a high doorway into room f (2.6 m up to the modern lintel, but perhaps higher originally), a pier of limestone blocks dividing the doorways, a doorway into room e, and, finally, the wall with the terracotta pipe leading into the cess pit.
The threshold between rooms d and f is built with small stones. Underneath it, the open conduit of room f is lead into the covered drain of room d.
The section of the wall that separates room d from room e, has a tiled crooked line above which all masonry is reconstructed. In the preserved lower part is a vertical terracotta pipe, presumably leading from an upper floor lavatory, behind the ground floor lavatory and into the cess pit.
The wall was restored in 2008, altering the profile of the top of the wall, an area that was an earlier reconstruction.
