Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring are recording was undertaken in association with the construction of a Larinier fish pass at Sanderson's Weir in July 2019. The work involved the recording of the weir structure prior to works, and monitoring of the removal of a section of the weir. The weir spans the River Don, and a weir is likely to have been extant in this location from the 16th century, to provide water to the Upper and Nether Attercliffe Forges. It was rebuilt in 1825 by Naylor and Sanderson, who took over the Nether Forge and expanded it. The weir is grade II listed (NHLE 1247579) and relevant permissions were granted to the client prior to the removal works commencing. The downstream face of the weir is constructed in 12 visible bays, each separated by a dressed stone rib. Between the stone ribs the weir is built of a cobbled surface of slag and crozzle (cementation furnace waste), washed smooth and rounded by the flowing water. A length of approximately 5m was removed at the eastern end of the weir, which effectively removed the second bay of the weir. The work revealed the wooden support frame of the 19th century weir, as well as timber posts that may relate to the earlier weir, although this remains undetermined.
