Soldier's Ring is a hillfort located in Surrey, England, situated on elevated ground that offered defensive advantages in antiquity. The site comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch system characteristic of Iron Age fortifications. Dating to the Iron Age period, the hillfort represents the settlement and defensive infrastructure typical of the late pre-Roman British landscape. The monument's earthwork remains, though modified by subsequent land use, preserve evidence of the topographical and structural strategies employed by Iron Age communities in southeast England.
