Discussion

This building overlaps with 2CC1901, the direct stratigraphic relationship between them being indeterminable as there were no intercutting post holes. They are both aligned ENE-WSW. Structure 2CC116 has post-holes varying from 0.20m to 0.45m in diameter and one entrance in the south-east long wall. All the post holes were truncated by plough damage. A few post-holes may belong to either building, as they fall internally within both structures. A possible foundation pit (with horizontal shading) is situated in the north-eastern corner. There are a number of posts to the east, in a NNW-SSE alignment, which may indicate the remains of a fence line. Also within the bounds of this feature is a possible foundation pit, which contained parts of a bronze girdle hanger.
