An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was conducted on land off Station Road, Sturton Le Steeple, Nottinghamshire, as a condition of planning consent for the construction of a residential development consisting of three dwellings. A watching brief on the route between Gainsborough Road, approximately 600m to the north-northeast of the site, and Sturton le Steeple Quarry, 2.8km to the east of the site, revealed archaeological activity from the prehistoric and the Romano-British periods, as well as Medieval and post-Medieval finds. Station Road is a former Roman Road running between Lincoln and Doncaster. Sturton le Steeple is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 with land belonging to the King and to Roger de Bully. To the south and southwest of the site there are undated cropmarks likely representing field boundaries, ridge-and-furrow, and possibly a short stretch of trackway. The evaluation consisted of four 15m x 1.8m trial trenches. Archaeology was exposed in two trenches. A ditch and ditch terminus were exposed in Trench 3, the same ditch continued into Trench 4. Finds from both features suggest a medieval date, providing a terminus post quem of the mid-14th to 15th century for the activity. The trial trenching demonstrated that the works are unlikely to impact on any significant archaeological features or deposits
