The name of the field according to Arlington's 1843 tithe map. St Pancras church is beyond the electricity pylon whilst Church Barn is to the right. The South Downs provides the backdrop with Bo-Peep chalk pit visible on the right. The name could mean an area once used for archery practice or an area of the field where soil was deposited once the plough was turned. See Image for a view from the opposite end of the field.
