Room 23301… part filled with earth. From room 22 one enters through a doorway beside the wall towards room 24 into room 23. Here the floor level, as well as the earth conditions, is the same as in room 22. The room measures 3,60 m X 4,60 m in square. The surrounding walls are preserved only slightly higher than the floor level and laid of cobblestones without preserved bonding material. In the southern corner a find is made on the floor of a small silver buckle diam 1 cm (301)

Rooms 20 – 23 form a closed unit of rooms, to which one can only gain access from room 15 by the stairs up to 21. From elsewhere there is no door. Room 21 is in communication with an upper storey now demolished(?). Earth sections are not considered necessary in the rooms 21 – 23 for the reasons stated earlier.
