Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation and watching brief was undertaken at Gramer House, Mancetter, Warwickshire (NGR SP 3195 9665). It was undertaken on behalf of North Warwickshire Primary Care Trust, who intend to construct a care bungalow on the site for which a planning application has been submitted. As the site lies within the boundary of the Mancetter 1st century Roman fortress there was a high potential for significant remains to be uncovered. In the main trench Roman archaeological deposits were exposed in the form of ditches, gullies, pits and postholes, almost certainly relating to military activity in the 1st century. In the service trench recorded by watching brief a substantial ditch was recorded, over 7m wide, which is probably one of the northern boundary ditches of the fort. Interestingly evidence of further activity in the 3rd or 4th century has also been recorded in the main excavation trench indicating re-occupation of the fort occurred in the later Roman period. At least seven graves were also recorded, but had an extremely poor assemblage of human remains, the result of the acidic nature of the soil. Osteoarchaeological analysis of the one substantially recoverable human skeleton, was limited because of the poor quality of the bone. Pottery recovered from one of these graves has been dated to the medieval period and represents a shift of the boundary for graveyard of St Peters Church, which now exists 40m to the east.
