Quite envious of  intriguing names for fields.
not very imaginative here, Top Ten Acre', End Field, Well Field, Crofts 1 and 2, 'Front field'. Pot Sink Field (Some day we'll get that pot sink connected to the spring ;D ). 'That field where you fenced it too narrow to plant a hedge' (I'd asked for 2 metres from wall :-( ).
I'll have to have a think about names, need something that sounds historic somehow.

When the farm was sold we kept the field known as long pasture.  About 100m wide and ⅓ mile long.  This is now 7 paddocks of varying sizes which were named as we went along. So we have Top Paddock, Top Hay, Middle Field, Bottom Hay, Bottom Top, Bottom Middle and The Ram Paddock.

No Hedge Field, HedgeNo Field , Hedge!ess ...  or to be kinder, ClearView Field...


Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Hanging field _ because history says a man hanged himself from a tree  ,  Tongue  _ very long and narrow ,  Snoot _  ?  ,  Swaite fell  _ ?    Hydro _ because it looks down to what used to be a victorian  hydro , Mirrans  Barn _ because a woman called Mirran owned the barn and fields around it
