Comments
An unsolvable problem that often arises is the alignment of archaeological structures and modern agricultural cultivation. Here, weak wall structures cannot be clearly distinguished from the traces of agricultural work and can therefore be confused with these.

What we see here are definitely the remains of a roman building of about 11 m x 19 m in size, which was divided into several rooms. However, since an outbuilding used for agriculture rarely has a floor structure, I would prefer to interpret it as a small single-room-Villa or a bath.
