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… http://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/02/roman-mosaics-from-lincolnshire.html … (pic=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Monks_Abbey,_Monks_Road,_Lincoln_(431220060).jpg …)pic.twitter.com/OGqeN4En8m

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...

Likewise, Lincoln's Roman Upper East Gate (which was demolished in 1763) was given along with its chambers to Bishop Alexander by the king as a residence in the mid-12th century… (pic=http://www.itsaboutlincoln.co.uk/lincolns-gates.html …)pic.twitter.com/5DVFf7qKFM

The Roman North Gate of the Upper City at Lincoln — unlike the others, it has not been buried by the castle or dismantled in the early modern period, but is instead still used by traffic to this day :)pic.twitter.com/1FiwW1fHSW

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
What? Lindēs, Lindēsh? The land of the Lin? Dēsh means land or country in Sanskrit
Lindes comes from Latin Lindenses, via expected post-Roman sound changes; subsequently nd > nn and e > ui led to 9thC form Linnuis in Old Welsh (cf. Powys) :)
