During an excavation prior to the construction of a new building a wall emerged on a NW-SE alignment. Only its opus caementicium foundation survived, built in an open trench with tufa and basalt chippings. The top of the structure emerged at 0.55m from ground level. The straight wall, uncovered for a length of 39.5m delimited an apsidal space, 5.90m in diameter and 5.30m deep. The excavation of a collapse identified the wall’s opus reticulatum facing. Fragments of small bricks from an opus spicatum floor, polychrome mosaic tesserae and irregular stone fragments, probably part of an opus sectile pavement were also present in the layer of collapse. It is thought that these structures belonged to a residential complex, more specifically, following the discovery of four drainage ditches, that they were part of the garden of a villa, the straight wall forming part of its enclosure. These structures probably date to between the end of the 1st century B.C. and the 2nd century A.D. After its abandonment as a residence the site was used for agricultural purposes during the 2nd century A.D. evidence for which is provided by 5 burials which cut and obliterate two of the four drainage channels. These are “a cappuccino” burials cut at a shallow depth into the tufa, thus the skeletal remains are not well preserved. They were not cut on a predefined alignment and contained no traces of grave goods. However, the stamps on the tiles covering T3, T4 and T5, either circular or half-moon shaped with a small opening, can be dated to the 2nd century A.D. (Francesca Montella)
