Abstract/Summary

Geophysical surveys were conducted within the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Segelocum Roman Town, and land adjacent to it, at Littleborough (near Sturton Le Steeple), Nottinghamshire. The site is situated on deposiys of Mercia Mudstone, with Holme Pierrepont sand and gravel superficial deposits. The site was composed of 7 discrete areas immediately adjacent to Littleborough Road, Littleborough, Nottinghamshire. Ground conditions for the survey were generally satisfactory. The land was largely under arable cultivation during the survey, some areas to the south of the modern road were used as paddocks for horses. Geophysical survey demonstated the prescence of potential buried archaeological features, these comprised: - Probable archaeological features relating to settlement activity along the line of the Roman road. - Probable archaeological features relating to settlement activity within the core of the Roman town of Segelocum. - The line of the Roman road from Lincoln to Doncaster - Possible remains of ditched field-boundaries or drainage systems
