Site of Prickett's Hatch

Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 2 Jun 2022

One of the former medieval entrances to the medieval deer park of Ashdown Forest. Located at the point where Nether Lane becomes Down Street, the latter a very ancient droving route predating the creation of the park and for many centuries the main route from East Grinstead to Lewes. The entrance stretched from the eastern side of the lane into the waste on the opposite side of the road and included the entrance to the property known as Prickett's Hatch which itself is next to an old track that headed west to Danehill and Horsted Keynes. The pale runs to the immediate west of the village of Nutley until this point whereupon it turns east heading towards the A22 south of Ford's Green.
