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.
A possible road surface on a north-south alignment was identified to the east of the stone building in the northern part of the trench (phase 5). A sherd of black burnished ware was recovered from the road surface indicates it was in use in the first half of the second century
