There are a number of small woodlands or 'shaws' hereabouts. Ahead to the left is Coney Lodge Shaw while to the right is Chalk Hole Shaw. Just behind is Small Profit Shaw. Presumably Coney Lodge Shaw signifies that rabbits were plentiful here, while Chalk Hole Shaw seems to suggest historic chalk quarrying. Quite where Small Profit Shaw gets its name is anyone's guess, although maybe it was a landowner's or farmer's plaintive cry about poor returns. Beyond are the wooded heights of the North Downs.
