In this part of the world a field is often referred to as a park, and neeps are turnips, the type called swedes in England. They are mostly grown as fodder for wintering livestock. I can recall my grandmother complaining one winter that the milk tasted of the neeps fed to the dairy cattle. In the distance are Knock Hill, to the right, and Lurg Hill, to the left.
