The name of the field according to Rodmell's 1839 tithe map. The area bounded by Mill Lane, Newhaven Road, the South Downs Way and the restricted byway leading to Cricketing Bottom is now one large field but at the time of the tithe map was subdivided into a number of small furlongs tilled by individual tenants. The Noor occupied a square area next to Mill Lane and down as far as Rodmell Hill House visible on the left. Beyond is the Ouse valley with Itford and Beddingham Hillson the eastern side with the Weald in the far distance to the left.
