Interesting! - thanks for rooting that out.
The Dorking Gap has been suggested here too, of course - it does 'agree admirably', except for the presence of the River Mole... and Foord seems to have forgotten about the 'closed in the rear by a wood' bit. There's a plausible 'defile' off to the west of Dorking too, beneath the ridge of the downs, around Westcott.
