According to Jashemski, the garden at the rear had a portico on the east supported by a pillar of brick and tufa cut in the shape of brick.

The garden was enclosed by a low masonry wall built between the pillar and the north garden wall.

In the south-east corner of the garden, there was a terracotta puteal.
