Section of Leicester's Roman town wall
This is the only part of Leicester's Roman town wall so far discovered with the original facing stones intact. The facing stones only survived because the wall had collapsed onto its face. Elsewhere these stones have been robbed or quarried away to be reused in other buildings.
The wall was discovered during one of Leicester's largest archaeological excavations which took place prior to the construction of the new buildings at Leicester Square. This piece of wall was moved here from the basement area of Burgess House so it could be displayed.
The wall enclosed the Roman town, it was almost 3m wide and probably 5m high, and most likely constructed in the 3rd century AD.
