Structure Description
E-W Concrete wall between 8270 and 8128, composed mainly of tufo, with some tile and other inclusions. Only a small portion is exposed, chiefly the top and part of the southern face; this presents a highly irregular construction which may be due to collapse/poor preservation.

SU 8260 is a concrete wall which appears to have served as a plug for a previous entrance to room I15 from the road. This must have been closed up in a later phase/reorganization of the area, similar to 8266 just to the east. It is not fully exposes and further excavation in 2018 will clarify and confirm the situation.
