Misc. Earthwork in Surrey
Series of banks and possibly ditches believed to be Neolithic field boundaries in diamond pattern with round barrow set at the edge of them. Extends for some distance over MOD owned heathland and can be seen from the A30. One section has been excavated early in the 2000s by PHD student at Farnborough College of Technology. Some damage was caused to the banks from around the time of the Second World war when tanks and soldiers carried out training on the site and the tanks drove over the banks. Most of the banks are however intact. Recorded on Ancient Sites and Monuments register.
Drive from Camberley to Hook along the A30. On the left hand side there is a large layby which it is free to park in. The banks are visible from the edge of the heathland and extend for quite a distance to the right along the heathland and as far as a fence that runs along the back which segregates part of the common. It is unclear if the banks extend into that area.
