Abstract:		 Archaeological Research Services Ltd were contracted to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Provincial House, Solly Street, Sheffield. The watching brief comprised the final piece fieldwork following earlier archaeological evaluation in 2015 (McWilliams 2015). Previously the evaluation had demonstrated that the remains of a cellar and yard of a house which constituted part of Red Place (McWilliams 2015, 12) were extant towards the southern edge of the proposed development area. Archaeological Research Services Ltd were given notice to commence the watching brief on 15th August and this date was subsequently put back to 19th August. The archaeological watching brief did not find any preserved archaeological deposits features or structures and instead uncovered re-worked demolition deposits which came straight down onto the underlying natural sandstone, representative of horizontal truncation. Though it is unknown when this truncation might have occurred it might be speculated that it occurred during site un-notified works and construction between the end of September 2015 and the end of July 2016. Dinah Saich of South Yorkshire Archaeology Service was notified, once the scale of the unmonitored works was realised.
