There are five bays with gabled, opposing, entrances to centre, offset flanking buttresses and octagonal gable finial. There are rectangular breathers to both and sides, three to either side alternating with buttresses. There are double doors to centre on both sides with stable doors to side.

An alien from New Zealand. The bur stage comes later as the seeds form. It has clover-like flower heads, but the tiny flowers are not clover-like, nor are the leaves. I have only seen this in similar Surrey locations e.g. SU9167 : Plant in Swinley Forest, although it apparently crops up quite widely.

No longer a road connecting with the A3 beyond, now a bridleway.

Bridleway 593 was formerly Webb Road. There is a hazardous crossing point here of the busy dual carriageway to a path parallel with the A3 on the other side.

A largely wooded public access common.

This is all the protection pedestrians get at the crossing point seen in SU9341 : End of bridleway 593 and A3 crossing point, Witley Common.
