The foundation for the wall at (Point "A") can be seen to your right, and small remains of the 12 foot wide fireplace can be seen to your left. (Point "B"). The red tiled area to the left is all that remains of the tavern's many rooms. The rest of the tavern is buried beneath where you are now standing.
