Evidence of pituitary tumours in osteoarchaeological material is rare. In the present case, an enlarged pituitary fossa in the sphenoid bone indicated an expanding lesion. There was no evidence of hormonal abnormality, and a non‐secreting adenoma or, less likely, a craniopharyngioma are suggested as probable diagnoses
