See Rivista di Studi Pompeiani, XV, 2004, for a “Scavi stratigrafici” (p.39-40).
This seems to refer to an excavation near the east wall of the garden area, and also into the neighbouring garden area of VIII.6.6.
However, please note, they show this house as VIII.6.3, and the garden area to the east as VIII.6.5 (our number is VIII.6.6).

According to Jashemski –
“The garden was enclosed on four sides by a portico supported by fourteen brick columns, of which only the bases remained.
The area at the rear had been cleared of previous construction, probably after the 62AD earthquake, as had the area to the west, for which even the location of the entrance is not clear.”
She described this location as VIII.6.3 (No.14 at Pompeii).
