Whitepost Wood lies between the settlements of Holtye and Blackham, at the junction of the A264 and the B2026, close to the border between East Sussex and Kent (TQ 5471 1391). Today the area is occupied by relatively dense mixed woodland, bisected by streams, which have cut deep channels into the underlying clay and sandstone geology, which lies close to the junction of the Ashdown Beds and Wadhurst Clay formations (BGS 2012) both of which are known to contain deposits of iron ore (Hodgkinson 2008a, 10).
