The foundations of the walls are of limestone rumble, but above ground-level the walls are faced with the strong semi-ashlar masonry, first came into fashion in 2nd century CE. the wall stretching across the north side of the eastern court appears to be the foundations of a raised plinth, which probably supported a pillared verandah.
