Iron Age banjo enclosure, associated enclosure and linear features, 323m south-west of South Tadworth Farm is an Iron Age settlement complex located in Surrey. The site comprises a characteristic banjo-shaped enclosure, a form of defended settlement typical of the Iron Age in southern Britain, along with additional ditched enclosures and linear features that suggest a more extensive settlement pattern. The banjo enclosure consists of a circular or oval main enclosure connected to a funnel-shaped entrance structure, a design that may have served both defensive and stock-control purposes. The associated features indicate this was a multi-functional settlement of some substance during the Iron Age period, with the linear elements potentially serving as field boundaries or drove ways connected to the main occupation area.
