Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In June 2008, ARCUS were commissioned by Sheffield City Council to undertake an archaeological buildings appraisal on the former Sharrow Lane Infants School, Sheffield, South Yorkshire (SK 3476 8573). The appraisal was undertaken in association with proposals for redevelopment of the site, and comprised of a site visit, with photography and sketch plans, as well as documentary and cartographic research. The survey showed that the earliest phase of Sharrow Infant School was typical of Sheffield Board School structures of the late 19th century, with subsequent modernisation of pupil and staff facilities within and around this core. The layout of the 19th-century school remained essentially intact despite these changes, although the original intended circulation was impeded by the expansion of class rooms within the existing framework. Desk-based research has indicated that there were no known structures on the site from at least the late 18th century until the construction of the school. The site was part of a field or close associated with the adjacent 17th-century Priory Grange house, which was demolished in the 1880s. It has been suggested that this building stood on the site of a medieval monastic grange and tithe barn affiliated with Worksop Priory, but no supporting information, other place-names, has been found during the assessment. Geotechnical investigation has indicated that there is the potential for the survival of archaeological deposits at the site, some of which may pre-date ground-levelling activities for the construction of the school.
