The name of the field according to the 1843 tithe map and formerly part of Frankbarrow, a medieval deer park that was disparked and enclosed in the 16th century. The houses over the brow are in World's End, a suburb of Burgess Hill whilst to the north and south lie other built up areas which makes you wonder how long this field will survive before it follows others under the concrete and tarmac of Burgess Hill.
