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.

The watching brief in Trench 2 to the north of the first trench revealed evidence of a high status building (Structure 12). Features exposed during the construction included a mortar floor overlain by demolition debris and a second mortar floor, and an east-west aligned wall to the south. This structure appears to have been originally constructed with a hypocaust system that was subsequently removed before a new clay surface overlay it. No dating was recovered from this structure however
