In this sector the only surviving structure were terrace walls on the northeast and southeast edges of the trench. The southeast wall, the only one entirely visible, was faced only on the outside. Inside, two make ups brought up the level, (3, 2) and the house was presumably constructed above them. There was no trace of this, however, and its destruction deposits were probably removed by erosion or robbing. The date of the terrace foundations is apparently 2nd c. B.C.: both contain black glaze and Greco-Italic amphorae. Above them a layer of apparently colluvial deposit, 1, contained a strap handle from a medieval jug, probably 11th c. or later.
