Also relevant when thinking about the context of the continued 'post-Roman' activity in the forum at Lincoln:

Finally, the Greetwell villa-palace just outside of Lincoln is intriguing too—probable residence of Late Roman provincial governor, maintained into 5thC w/ immense corridors & mosaics, plus indications of post-Roman activity & estate continuity… caitlingreen.org/2015/02/roman-

Fwiw, has been recently argued that the villa-palace's estate may have survived intact to become an Anglo-Saxon minster estate and, subsequently, the 11thC & later Monks Leys estate at Lincoln… caitlingreen.org/2015/02/roman- (pic=en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Monk)

Also worth noting that the Roman gates at either end of the east–west road that passed through the forum may well have seen activity/maintenance too e.g. not only was Roman west gate still standing in 11thC, but so too was its first floor chamber... (pic=wellandantiquemaps.co.uk/western-gate-r)

When Lincoln's Upper West Gate was rediscovered under the 11thC Norman castle in 1836, it was practically complete, although the upper chamber subsequently collapsed when more earth was removed (pic=reconstruction by David Vale of how it originally looked).

There's one, drawn after the partial collapse of the upper storey; it was apparently exposed by an enterprising inn owner who illicitly was digging into the castle mound to expand his property...!

There's another. I bought this 1836 Day & Haghe lithograph of the Western Entrance into Ancient Lindum inscribed to John, Earl Brownlow by Samuel Tuke in a Lincoln auction last night. I cannot find any other copy of it, which is intriguing ...
