Abstract:		 ARCUS were commissioned by PDR Construction Ltd. to carry out post-excavation analysis and reporting of an archaeological mitigation carried out during March/April 2007 at 161-189 Upper Allen Street, Sheffield. The remains of two courtyards were excavated, with back-to-back houses fronting onto Upper Allen Street and Marsden Lane, and constructed between 1808 and 1832. Differences in the build of the houses and the associated cellars suggested that construction took place in several smaller episodes between these dates. The houses and courtyards remained largely unchanged until demolition in the 1930s, although improvements to sanitation provisions were made during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A probable cess-pit in the upper courtyard was replaced by a brick-lined midden tank before 1853, and this was later fitted with a shallower floor and a soakaway shaft. The midden tank remained in use in 1905, but at some point before 1920 it was replaced by a set of water closets. During the course of excavation, a very large sealed dump of domestic debris including pottery, shell and glass was recovered from an outbuilding. This pottery dump was deemed to be of particular importance as it appeared to have been deliberately stored rather than simply dumped as made ground or piled up as a rubbish heap.
