SEGELOCUM
Nottinghamshire, England.
Identified by its position in the
Antonine Itinerary (475.4,
478.9) with Littleborough, 6.4 km S of Gainsborough,
where the Roman road from Lincoln to Doncaster
crossed the river Trent. Many remains have been found,
including pottery and coins (1st-4th c.), two kilns, and
an inscribed altar (
RIB 277), but the extent of the settlement is not known. An early fort commanding the river crossing is likely and the main concentration appears to have been on the W bank.
