The farm to the north is called Blackberry farm. The 'berry' element may reference the enclosure, from the Old English 'burh' meaning a fortification. Field 947 immediately the north of the enclosure is called 'Roundabout'. It may once have been the site of a beacon as there are also several 'Beacon' field names in the vicinity.
