This campaign centred on Trench B (eastern side of the settlement) and uncovered the structures adjoining the well and adjacent opus signinum floor, a substantial area of which was exposed.

The 2007 excavation had found the base and part of a column resting on the floor. A second base and column segment, also constructed with bricks and faced with stucco came to light during this season. A monumental travertine threshold at the centre of the room’s north side, in relation to a wide corridor ( fauces? ), also paved in opus signinum, was uncovered. The columns would seem to suggest the presence of a portico on the same axis as the threshold. This evidence supports the identification of this space as a large atrium with a compluvium supported on four corner columns. The layer covering the floor surface was characterised by the presence, at times highly concentrated, of minute fragments of stucco from the walls. Most of them belonged to linear moulded dividing elements which occasionally presented traces of colour. Along the south-eastern edge of the trench the excavation completed the removal of a dump of pottery from outside room “B” and completely exposed a small room, entered to the north via a monolithic brick threshold. The opus spicatum floor presented a number of small channels at right angles to each other which may indicate this was a latrine.

On the south-western side of the trench work continued on the removal of a dump outside room “C”, partially revealing a series of large ashlar blocks on a south-north alignment. These were certainly foundation elements and support for the wall. However, they may have been components of a walled structure pre-dating the building of room “C”, which were incorporated into the new construction.
