A narrow lane that runs between Mays Corner and the crossroads south of Ripe. The lane is quite ancient and was definitely in use during Roman times as it forms the southern boundary of the Roman field system based around Ripe and Chalvington. There is some evidence to suggest that Romans themselves utilised an even older Iron Age track when creating this road. The hedgerow to the left also marks the southern boundary of the parishes of Ripe and Chalvington another indication of antiquity.
