         		 View of the circular quarters from the outside.: by tom_moench, Views[320]
         		 As we explored the outside of the nun's quarters these alcoves were present between the outer walls of each cell. At the top of the alcove is a hole that I presumed to be a vent. My guess is that in colder days a fire was built in each of the alcoves which heated the rock walls of the two adjacent cells producing a form of radiant heat in the living cells. Because the fires were on the outside of the building and not within each room the fires could be built and tended to by someone without entering the the nun's quarters and there would be no smoke to bother the nun's.: by tom_moench, Views[431]
     
    The nun's had a room with two bathtubs in it.: by tom_moench, Views[290]
         		 As was shown each of the nun's cells had shelves, bed, sitting area, and here is the private privy that each had. It is similar to an outhouse indoors. The grating is presumably for safety. In the reconstructed cells the privy was wood with the appropriate hole to sit over. The interesting addition is that rainwater collected on the roof ran down a pipe embedded in the wall (visible above the upper right corner of the grate)and washed the waste away. : by tom_moench, Views[396]
