Draper's Hide is a historic hide, a type of ancient hunting hide, located in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England. This Scheduled Ancient Monument dates back to the Iron Age, around 500-1000 BC. The hide consists of a circular depression, approximately 10 meters in diameter, surrounded by a bank and ditch. It is believed to have been used by ancient hunters to observe and ambush deer and other game. The hide is remarkably well-preserved, with its earthworks still clearly visible, offering a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ancient Britons.
