V.4 Herculaneum. Casa del Telaio or The Loom House, May 2010.
Looking east across courtyard/garden area, the east wall pilaster between the window and doorway of room L, is at the rear.
According to Jashemski, the columns around the courtyard were joined by a low wall.
The top of a second lower wall built just inside was shaped to form a gutter.
There was sufficient soil in the enclosed area to suggest to Maiuri that the area was a garden.
See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.267).
