Mint Wall
Image: © Richard Croft Taken: 6 Feb 2007
Late 2nd / early 3rd century stretch of Roman wall that was part of the outer wall of the basilica, the northern range of the forum complex of Lindum Colonia. The 18th century Lincolnshire antiquarian William Stukeley erroneously named it 'mint wall' and the name has stuck. The wall is 23m (76 feet) long and 7m (23ft) high, with about 2m (6ft) below ground level.
