Puttenham Common

About

An area of high archaeological interest, there have been many finds here. The main feature is a hill fort at Hillbury, probably dating back to the Iron Age but with greater evidence of occupation during Roman times. The reserve was also used by the military in world war II with evidence including slit trenches and rifle range butts. The common is managed and maintained by the Surrey Wildlife Trust and is now home to a range of wildlife that live in the lowland heath.
