Summary

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. In the third century two new stone structures were built on the site on a different alignment to the earlier structures. Between the two new structures there was a substantial clay deposit containing very few finds of a primarily Roman date.
