  It would make perfect sense for there to be Roman building adjacent to the Pharos. Afterall, the troops maintaining the lighthouse would need a shelter and somewhere to store their equipment. However, I'd expect it to be first century, not fourth although of course it could have been rebuilt.
  
  I see no way that anyone could make a statement that such a building it was built by British though - the culture across Southern Britain was entirely Romano-British by the 2nd century, a fusion of the two (with the emphasis heavily on Roman).
  
  The late Saxon St Mary in Castro church definitely re-used Roman tiles and probably flints too. Re-using easily available building materials was common practice.
