Route
The A1500 starts in the village of Marton, at SK840820, and runs south of east along the Roman alignment. The junction in the Village is actually a crossroads: The Roman alignment is maintained toward the west, crosses the River Trent to Littleborough, Nottinghamshire, and can be intermittently discovered nearly to Bawtry. (None of this is part of the A1500.)
The A1500 follows the Roman Road through
The whole length along the Roman Road is known as Till Bridge Lane. The section from the deviation at SK947784 to the roundabout on the A15 is named Horncastle Lane. The name Horncastle Lane continues on the other side of the A15, but that is a minor road not part of the A1500 designation.
The A1500 is single carriageway throughout.
The Roman Road alignment from SK947784 near Scampton is maintained across fields, and also makes a junction with the A15 Ermine Street at SK973774. This is the main entrance to the Lincolnshire Showground, which is based around the Roman Road.

The other definitely Roman road across the county from Lincoln to Doncaster is less known, although the route can still be clearly traced and is distinctly marked on the Ordnance map. This road would seem to have been a branch of the Ermine Street, being preferred perhaps to the more direct road to York, which involved a crossing of the Humber. This road leaves the Ermine Street just north of Lincoln, crosses the Trent at Littleborough and continues via North Wheatley through Bawtry to Doncaster.
