Abstract:		 A possible example of surgical treatment of depressed fracture of the cranium is presented. The individual involved is a medieval peasant from Wharram Percy. The burial dates from the tenth to eleventh century AD. The surgery appears to have involved the use of trepanation by the scraping technique. This case pre-dates the first documentary descriptions in the medieval West of similar operations to treat cranial fracture, and shows that access to complex surgical treatment was not invariably the preserve of the wealthy in medieval England.
