- There are many different names given to fields and hills in my district. These are some of them. The Rushy field this is a field beside our farm it was given this name because rushes grow in it. Ned’s field this was given its name because a man called Ned owned it long ago. The horse’s field it was called this name because horses was kept in it. The Fourth Hill this was called its name because long ago a great light was on this hill and a big stone was placed on the top of this hill.
