The name of the fields according to Albourne's 1839 tithe map that have been joined together to make a larger unit along with Strouds Mead to the south out of shot. Some of the former hedgerow oaks are still standing giggling some idea where the field boundaries stood. Turnpike Field was in the foreground next to Shaves Wood Lane which was a turnpike at the time of the survey; beyond the oak to the left adjacent to Calves Wood is Flat Field; whilst above the oaks in the centre and extreme right is Eight Acres beyond which is Shaves Farm.
