The name of the field according to Washington's 1839 tithe map viewed from Rock Road. The northern field boundary in view follows the course of an old Roman Road, the Sussex Greensand Way, which once linked a station at Hardham on Stane Street, to Barcombe Mills. The line of the road later became a Saxon boundary of the Washington Estate delineated in two charters dated 947 and 963 which became largely the parish of Washington and is still today the parish boundary between that settlement and Ashington to the north.
