Old field names?

[MRT]

Its stronger than that here, city folk move in from England can't pronounce the Welsh names so change house/farm names for something quaintly English "The Old Barn" (groan).

Not quite the same but a farm steadying was sold for housing
And they have come up with similarity bland urban quaint names
The Old Barn
The Hay Barn
TheSummer Barn
The Courtyard
The Stone Barn
The Forge

I’d have used some of the local landmarks and field names and people who lived there as names connected to the past
After all there is prehistoric, roman and medieval archeology in the field outside
So much history

4 acre Meadow - it 3 acres
2n20 - was 22 acres
Cricket field - used to be a cricket pitch in about 1920
hanger field - used to have an ww1 hanger In it
bizarrely our bit was requisitioned by the ministry of war and used as a POW camp - but there are no records any where of it

One enterprising person locally did well out of it; Faerdre Fach became aka Happy Donkey Hill, the lady did very well out of it for free publicity fair play to her, she played the supervillain well and ended up on the BBC news!

Fields back home all have a name. We had some archeological work done in a field called Bella Park a few years ago and an Iron Age enclosure appeared in the report. Bellum being Latin for war and the Victorian preoccupation with such enclosures being fortifications suggests we should’ve known something was below the surface.

Makes you wonder what else is hidden in field names. Lower, Higher and Lane End Rosemaddock. Cannapark and Cannapark Hill. Lower Longey Park. To name but a few.

Interesting, I have a field called Cannapark, not sure the meaning of it.
