Full Description
PRN 70472
An archaeological watching brief was conducted during the installation of a new telephone cable system in Lincoln. The most substantial and significant feature identifed by the wathcing brief was the remains of a north-north-west to south-south-east orientated limestone wall. The wall was about 1.5m wide. Although undated, it is likely to represent a portion of the Roman city wall which ran from the castle to the corner of Guildhall Street. The wall is depicted on the Stukeley map of 1722, and and Marrat's map of 1817 where it is described as a Roman wall. It crosses Newland at the point seen in the trench. The wall and an arch over Newland are depicted on Marrat's 1848 map. {1}{2}
