Archaeological investigations in advance of the last phase of the Lincoln bypass have revealed evidence both of prehistoric occupation and of at least one substantial Roman villa overlooking the Witham valley from below Bracebridge Heath. The site is being interpreted as the residence of wealthy Roman settlers outside the phyical limits of the Colonia on the hill opposite, but close to its amenities.
