Archaeological investigations at Nicholas Street Mews identified a complex series of Roman deposits dating from the late first century through to the third century with structural evidence possibly surviving into the medieval period. A single trench was excavated to the rear of 10-12 Nicholas Street Mews.

Evidence for a stone structure (Structure 9) was recorded in the northern part of the site however subsequent activity in the medieval period has meant this part of the site was heavily disturbed (phase 5). The evidence for this structure is therefore limited to a short section of stone wall on a north-south alignment and a nearby surface, interpreted as a possible road surface (CHER 8081). A final feature thought to belong to this phase was identified during a subsequent watching brief when an east-west aligned gully filled with charcoal was recorded
