In June 2003, a geophysical survey was undertaken at Santa Maria Capua Vetere near Piazza Padre Pio by the Archaeological Prospection Services of Southampton and the British School at Rome on behalf of Sig. M. Gravante.

The survey was successful in locating and mapping a number of buried archaeological remains. Some of these remains can be associated with the structures excavated in the southeast corner of the field such as the continuations of walls, a small room and a possible road. A number of the other remains, mainly in the western part of the survey area, are oriented on a different alignment and could represent more recent structures. A series of anomalies can be identified as areas of burning possible within built oven or open fires. The survey area is littered with positive, negative and dipolar anomalies of varying size and these could represent modern disturbances.
