This article sets out the background to the Wallingford Burh to Borough Research Project, a three-year programme of study that commenced in 2008, outlining the historical and archaeological interest of the town and mentioning pilot study work in 2001--04. The results from the 2008 excavation of three trenches within three separate open areas are then described and discussed. In Castle Meadows, Trench 1 identified deep mixed medieval deposits relating to periodic presumed castle ditch clearance and also landscaping work beyond. Chiefly though, it exposed part of a chalk-clay platform relating to a presumed 17th-century Civil War bastion. Trench 2 was excavated in the north-west corner of an area known as the Bullcroft which, from the Norman period, formed a religious space linked to a priory. The trench was designed to test for Saxon and medieval activity but proved largely empty, suggesting that this urban zone was always open space. More tangible medieval evidence derived from Trench 3 on Kinecroft, also largely an open space. Here evidence for a large building, seemingly of 12th-century date, was revealed, as well as a hollow way or lane. 2009 will see further scrutiny through geophysics and excavation of the urban and suburban spaces of Wallingford.
