This chamber was apparently the westernmost of the range 
forming the north side of the court, all the chambers of which are 
19 feet wide from north to south and had a north wall 4 feet thick. 
Chamber IV. was a passage 44 feet wide, and retained part of 
its side walls above the floor level. 
It was paved with small blue and white tesserze, in a bold fret 
_ pattern, and had a cream border, of which a small portion remained. 
_ The whole pavement was found in fair preservation in 1898, but 
_ was then taken up. 
Chamber V. was 18 feet from east to west, and was of considerable 
‘interest. It was entered either from passage IV. or chamber VL., 
and not directly from the court, as the wall on that side was 
standing some 12 inches above the floor-level for its whole length 
without an opening. 








It originally had a fine pavement, of which numerous fragments 
were found, and stood over a hypocaust. 
_ Of the hypocaust some fifty-one straight-sided stone pile 
| remained in position, and the stoke-hole, in the centre of the north 
wall, was constructed with tiles. Against the south and part of 
| the east walls remained a number of flue-tiles set on the top of 
pi 33, and then “had mutilated remains of a tesselated pavement 
_ of blue stones, ornamented with two red borders; the tesserz being 
nearly 1 inch square and the blue stones entirely decomposed. 
‘its walls near both south angles above the floor-level. In the 
| centre of the south wall was a gap evidently for the entrance from 
| the court.
