Some of the drainage ditches which cross the Common have their source within the SSSI. Around the channels, where there is enough light, uncommon plants occur e.g. the lesser spearwort with its attractive yellow flowers, another member of the buttercup family.
As you walk ahead the ground is increasingly hummocky and uneven, the result of hand digging for the Claygate Bed material. These gravel banks and hollows are now home to unusual plants including rare ferns.
You reach a sharp right turn, indicated by arrows, and descend a little way to reach post 17.
