Dating to the early medieval age (8th-9th centuries AD), this dwelling had as its base the perimeter walls of a Roman setting, stabilized with bricks cemented with clay. This was most likely a one-storey house (domus terrinea), similar to those also discovered in Rome in the Forum of Caesar. The discovery of a thick layer of clay raises the possibility that the elevation consisted of pressed-earth walls. In a corner of the house, three superimposed hearths, built with recycled bricks, have been discovered.
