Abstract:		 Following geophyiscal and trial trenching of land at Gimbro Farm, two areas of archaeological importance were identified and excavated in advance of a new air freight depot. Six areas were initially opened, areas 1, 2 and 3 (field 6) and A, B and C (field 10). 13 trenches were then excavated in field 10 on an ad hoc basis in order to pursue features already discovered in this area. An area of peripheral Late Iron Age activity was identified on high land in field 10 in the form of two phases of field system, a possible four post double gateway and enclosure. The nature of the finds recovered suggested that there was some Iron Age settlement activity fairly close by, with the main core of this activity perhaps in the south-east corner of field 10 where a cropmark thought to represent an Iron Age enclosure was situated.
