Abstract: |
Between the 28th August 2007 and 24th September 2007, ARCUS archaeologists carried out a rapid machine strip and evaluation of archaeological potential, followed by mitigation through excavation and recording, on the site of the former Ashtons factory on land along Upper Allen Street, Sheffield (SK 3465 8772). The machine strip revealed the reasonably well preserved remains of cellar bottoms along Upper Allen Street, parts of a courtyard and outdoor toilet block to the north of the aforementioned cellars, and further remains of early 19th-century housing to the north of the courtyard area. The area immediately to the east of the former Ashtons building yielded very little in the way of archaeological remains due to truncation from the concrete cellaring of the building. The area to the northwest of the Ashtons building along the line of the former Jericho Street also revealed a number of early 19th-century cellars and ground floor rooms. Following the rapid strip by mechanical excavator, it was decided, in accordance with the agreed project design, to target certain areas for full archaeological excavation and recording. These included all the remains visible along Upper Allen Street, the toilet block within the courtyard, one room of the housing to the north of the courtyard, and two cellars and one ground floor room from the housing found along the line of the former Jericho Street. |
