Description Another bedrock-cut cave containing one large niche and other building components cut into its walls. It appears this was a natural opening where the floor was partially hewn and leveled. It also appears that originally the cave was divided into two halves by Locus 80. Part of this wall is now missing but we know that it abutted the south side of the cave since the excavators found holes for bracketing this wall against the bedrock.
Location In the southwest of the Residential Quarter.
