Looking east in trench where root cavities had been preserved because when the root decayed the lapilli had trickled down into the void.

According to Wilhelmina, the root cavities had the appearance of old vine-roots.
She thought the vines were mature, as the root cavities were large.
These were not regularly spaced which would have been very similar to modern vineyards at Pompeii, which are also planted informally today.
