According to Boman and Nilsson –
“This room is a rectangular room with a single entrance facing the peristyle-viridarium area.
Based on the installations found inside the room, it presumably served as a combined kitchen and toilet.
The doorway has a lava threshold for a door opening inwards.
Features in the room are a latrine with cess pit, a hearth (presumably of earlier date) and in the SE corner, a narrow quarter-circular bench.”

According to Boman & Nilsson
-
“In front of the SE corner is a large limestone block that presumably is the structure Mau interpreted as a staircase (Mau 1877, 133).
It was deduced, however, that the boulder has been placed here post-excavation, but in between the boulder and the wall is a built structure.
It consists of two elements: a quarter-shaped bench to the west and a lower rectangular bench to the east.”
