For the moment, as a working hypothesis, we can consider it a sort of quadran- gular altar of which only the south façade is complete and the south part of the east façade

– The height of the walls is constant.

– The whole has sunk slightly towards the east, hence perhaps the insertion of a large packing stone in a cavity dug into the floor.

– the "altar" does not rest directly on the floor of pebbles, but 0.10 m above it, separated by a layer of hard clay
