St Ann's Hill is a univallate hillfort located near Chertsey in Surrey, England. The earthwork comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an area of approximately 5.5 hectares on the summit of the hill, with evidence suggesting Iron Age origins, likely dating to the later pre-Roman period. Within the hillfort enclosure stands the remains of a medieval chapel, constructed in the 14th century, which represents a later phase of activity and religious use of the site. The combination of prehistoric fortification and medieval religious structure makes St Ann's Hill an important palimpsest of settlement and ritual activity spanning over a thousand years.
