Abstract:		 ARCUS were commissioned by Pro-Active Project Management to carry out a programme of archaeological works at the Upper Chapel, Norfolk Street, Sheffield, on behalf of Hermes Property Unit Trust, as part of a larger project associated with the redevelopment of the Carmel House, Fargate site. An archaeological watching brief, evaluation, and recovery of human burials were carried out during the construction of an electricity substation and associated cable trenches in the former Unitarian burial ground to the rear of the Upper Chapel, active between about 1700 and 1855. A buried soil deposit was encountered, protected along the northern edge of the site by the footings of a wall along the line of Pepper Alley. This deposit contained a significant assemblage of medieval pottery dating between the 12th and 15th centuries, including waster sherds and fragments of kiln furniture suggesting that pottery production may have taken place on or near the site. The evidence suggests that this is one of the most important assemblages of medieval pottery to have been excavated in Sheffield in recent years in that it represents the first excavated evidence for medieval industry within the medieval core of the town. Four human burials from the 18th to 19th century burial ground were recovered during the archaeological investigations, in varying states of preservation. The Upper Chapel appears unique out of other recently excavated cemeteries in Sheffield as it can be confidently demonstrated to have the potential for all the graves to be present in an undisturbed state.
