Description: | The wall is approximately nine metres high and fifteen metres long and 1.8 metres wide, and is probably the north wall of the basilica that stood here. The bases of the portico pillars are still in situ in the bail. Bonding courses of tile are more frequent near the east end suggesting that there was a return wall to the south at this point. {1}{2}
The Mint Wall was formerly Listed as a Section of Roman City Wall. It is Grade 1 Listed and was probably the north wall of a basilica on the north side of the forum. It was constructed in c.100AD, excavated in 1980 and restored in 1991. It was built of coursed rubble with tile bonding courses, putlog holes and had a renewed pantile coping. It is approximately twenty metres long and up to five metres high. It is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument. {3} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 43 - 409 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
