Description Locus 7 is an extension to VT8. It is 1m x 5m in size. It lies directly above Locus 8. Locus 7 is equivalent to Locus 1. Locus 7 comprises the upper strata of the area of excavation. As with Locus 1, the site of excavation is a Tennis Court constructed in the 1980s, consequently Locus 7 consists of the upper level of the foundation for the Tennis Court. It is comprised of a light, circa 1cm, course of sand, that lies on top of 50cm of hard compacted clay and packing of small (c. 5cm) to medium size (c. 15cm) stones. This stratum appears to have been a drainage mechanism for rainwater on the courts. Finds from Locus 7 suggest a mixed stratum, with both fine tile and plaster, and more worn fragments with large inclusions.
