Misc. Earthwork in Surrey.
Small earthwork on Chobham Common.

Cross the road opposite Fishpool Car Park, take the left-hand footpath and follow this round the edge of the open space. Just beyond the trees of the clearing is a small dyke/ditch/dyke surrounded enclosure. Lots of rabbit holes !

Chobham Common (1) submitted by Andy B : A view in February when the grass had died down - you still can't see much! This is looking on a corner with banks stretching diagonally left and right. The rear banks of the square are marked by the line of trees. (Vote or comment on this photo)

More on this enigmatic site here, click 'Gardner' to read an excavation report from the 1920s:

Having visited I don't think it's prehistoric personally.
