The name of the field according to the 1838 tithe map which has lost part of its land to Hassocks Football Club whose ground is beyond the bushes to the left. It may also become the site of a 'rambler's rest' lodging a sort of walkers motel for those using the nearby South Downs. A planning application was put in during April 2008 and agreed in principle though I'm not sure what has become of it since.
