Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken as a first phase of archaeological investigation during the excavation of 15 geotechnical test pits prior to the proposed redevelopment of the site. Alluvial deposits of presumed prehistoric to medieval date were observed in many of the trial pits, results which indicated that the study site overlay one or more natural stream channels. Thus the site was likely to contain locally important topographic evidence for the study of pre-Roman and later settlement in the area. It was probable that evidence for the gradual silting and reclamation of the channel during the Saxon and medieval period would have survived beneath the site. There was some potential for the survival of structures relating to the outbuildings of the Tudor palace or 17th century Wallingford House. However, the small scale of the excavations made the positive identification of the observed fragments of masonry difficult. On balance most of the observed masonry was likely to have belonged to either the first Admiralty Office of c1692, or to the development of Ripley's admiralty (the standing building). [Au(abr)
