The site is located in the village of Sturton le Steeple, which is situated 2.5 miles (4km) west of Littleborough and the River Trent that forms the county boundary with Lincolnshire and is 6 miles (9.6 km) east of Retford and is located in the north-east of the county of Nottinghamshire. The survey was carried out in 7 fields covering a total area of c.5h. The area survey was conducted using a Bartington Grad 601 dual fluxgate gradiometer with DL601 data logger set to take 4 readings per metre (a sample interval of 0.25m). The zigzag traverse method of survey was used, with 1m wide traverses across 20m x20m grids. The sensitivity of the machine was set to detect magnetic variation in the order of 0.1 nanoTesla. The geophysical survey has not produced any significant results relating to the projected alignment of the Roman road or any settlement that straddles it. It remains inconclusive but it is likely that the techniques applied did not respond well to the underlying geology in the areas surveyed. However, the recent survey has revealed the remains of an unknown moated site and further possible Roman settlement remains adjacent to the existent road immediately to the north of Fenton Gorse. Other anomalies recorded included former cottages, field boundaries and ceramic land drains.
