Overview

History & significance

The Roman remains beneath the Boots building in Lincolnshire form part of the archaeological record of Roman Lincoln, one of the most significant urban centres in Roman Britain. The site preserves evidence of Roman occupation and settlement activity from the period when Lincoln functioned as a major fortress and later as a prosperous civilian town. The remains, situated beneath the modern commercial structure, include structural and artefactual deposits that contribute to understanding the urban development and domestic or commercial practices of Roman Lincoln during the first to fourth centuries AD. The survival of these deposits in situ beneath later construction provides valuable archaeological potential for understanding the evolution of this important Roman settlement.
