The SU delimits I-13 and I-14 from I-15 and I-17, although it was fully exposed only in I-13 during the 2017 season. The regular holes in the western face of the wall in I-17 suggest a feature, perhaps tiles (tegulae mammatae) were affixed there. The drainage feature in the southeast corner of the wall (as yet unexcavated) suggests movement of water or air through the wall. It may also suggest, in the presence of tegulae mammatae, that this was a heated room, and the tiles allowed for the circulation of air up the walls. The wall appears to have originally formed a doorway with SU 8262 connecting I-14 and I-15, which in a later phase of construction was plugged with SU 8261. The wall appears to be part of the original construction based on similarity to the rest of the Area I complex.
