Abstract:		 Two phases of excavation at Sheaf Square, Sheffield identified the partial remains of the New Tilt forge that was founded in 1793-4, including part of the wheel pit, dam and main building. The internal silts of the dam revealed a series of stake holes that may represent a platform. The building was extended to the south-east in the early 19th century, although the remains of this were generally elusive apart from an internal conduit structure that may represent a drain. This corresponded with changes in function for the building identified from documentary sources, and artefactual evidence of bone cutting and button making was recovered. These earlier structures were cut by later 19th century retaining walls and a large culvert that relate to the inception of the Midland Railway. A considerable depth of made ground was used to backfill the site over several stages and raise the ground level. This made ground was significant in its own right containing both industrial and domestic waste imported onto the site. Two phases of excavation were undertaken, 25-05-2004 - 07/06/2004 and 18-09-2004 - 08-10-2004.
