Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A measured tape survey, aerial photographic analysis and documentary research was undertaken which has revealed that extensive extant remains of Iron Gates Camp survive in Savernake Forest. This was one of the domestic camps that provided accommodation for troops based at the Second World War ammunition depot in Savernake Forest. The extant remains provide us with a much better understanding of the camp's layout, composition and role within the depot. They reveal the footprint of the camp's distinctive dispersed layout, which made use of tree cover to protect it from aerial reconnaissance, as well as the rare use of railway carriages as accommodation huts. The project has provided a narrative for the establishment, development and abandonment of the camp and has provided a detailed plan of the remains which will aid in the future management of the forest.
