Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological excavation was undertaken on behalf of the University of Warwick prior to the development of new student accommodation at Scarman Road/Gibbet Hill Road, Burton Green. The excavation followed an earlier phase of evaluation that recorded a pit containing three fragments of cooking ware that were originally dated to the Roman period, but the results from this excavation suggest that they were most likely medieval in date. The excavation located the pit from the evaluation and it was shown to be one of a line of four pits or possible postholes. All the pits were of a similar size and shape and contained a number of pottery sherds dating to the 12th-14th century. Another pit was recorded directly to the north of the line of pits and this also contained a small number of sherds of 12th-14th century pottery. Although the line of pits or postholes were clearly contemporary and associated, it is not certain if they were part of a structure. A single fragment of a 12th-14th century patterned tile was recovered from the subsoil which may indicate the presence of a medieval building in the vicinity. Documentary sources suggest Cryfield was the location of a monastic settlement or grange in the mid-12th century. Sandstone foundations and 12th-century pottery have been recorded at Cryfield House, which is immediately to the west of the development area, which suggests the features recorded during the excavation may have been associated with them. It therefore remains possible that the posthole arrangement and associated pit represent activity within the grange.
