Area 20, the enclosed garden, looking towards the north-east corner. The white painted circles are the locations of the root cavities.
According to Wilhelmina, In the north-west, north-east and south-west corners a root cavity was found.
There was not one found in the south-east corner as this would have blocked the entrance to the garden.

As the walls
were found with no decoration, it is thought that there had not been time to
start to decorate them before the eruption.
The
remodelling of the Villa was also the probable reason why the columns from the
swimming pool portico had been moved from their original place and were
discovered situated along the walls of this room.
