Remains of Roman wall, Horncastle - East Lindsey
Roman curtain wall, late C3 to mid C4, which survives as both standing masonry and as buried remains in various ownerships. One visible section has been incorporated into Horncastle Library. The condition of each section of the monument varies, but uncontrolled vegetation growth and weathering threatens several of the exposed sections. A Historic England grant-aided project produced a condition survey and defined repair options for the southwest corner of the wall circuit. Historic England funded works have been carried out to stabilise the most vulnerable section in this location.
