A large hall, in the shape of a long octagon with two interior, semicircular apses, was revealed. Four marble column bases were found
in situ
in the northern apse, and remains of a black-and-white mosaic floor survived in the center of the hall. These remains were probably part of a public building (bathhouse?) or a large private dwelling in the northern suburbs of Byzantine Caesarea.
