Full Description
PRN 70359
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the construction of new student accommodation, associated storage areas and services fronting onto Swan Street and Grantham Street, Lincoln. The watching brief identified evidence for a building dating to the 12th century, with walls (later robbed out), internal floors, an associated external (courtyard) surface, a terrace wall and a pit. The building was aligned on, in part, an earlier Roman building (PRN 70360). The building was probably demolished sometime in the late 14th century. The function of the building is unknown {1} {2}.
