Incidentally, the place-name Lincoln is itself very interesting—seems, unusually, to be derived directly from the British form of the town-name: British Latin *Lindocolonia > Late British *Lindgolun > Old English *Lindcolun etc :)https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/759698675996037120 …
Dr Caitlin Green added,
Also worth noting that that the seventh-century Anglo-Saxon kingdom-name Lindissi — which survives as the modern district-name Lindsey — derived from a British group-/territory-name *Lindēs that referred to the people of Lincoln... https://www.academia.edu/27372761/The_British_Kingdom_of_Lindsey …pic.twitter.com/M82284XugY
Note, reanalysis of radiocarbon evidence from Lincoln indicates that the post-church burial stage of the site had almost certainly begun by c. AD 600 & that the apsidal church is not Anglo-Saxon as sometimes claimed, but rather 5th-/6th-century British… http://www.caitlingreen.org/2017/12/fifth-to-sixth-century-british-church-lincoln.html …pic.twitter.com/xEryQkLasj
A bone from the post-church graveyard at St Paul in Bail, Lincoln, in @collectionusher; the forum seems to have been kept open and used as a burial ground from the late 6th century through until 10th century, when a stone church was built there.pic.twitter.com/oS4tCdAFPJ

The Roman well in Lincoln's forum, located immediately to the east of the 5th- to 6th-century apsidal church & possibly used as its baptistery; the well continued in use until the 17thC.pic.twitter.com/cnDyXZaFkR

A doorway and staircase from the surviving remnants of the 3rd-century AD Upper East Gate of Roman Lincoln; the East Gate was apparently used as a residence in the medieval period, being given to the Bishop of Lincoln in 1130–3 by Henry I.pic.twitter.com/siJmT7iSX4
