    I think I’ll adopt @Plantminded wonderful SSSN for ours although our little granddaughter calls our front lawn the field, which we have also grandly adopted (given our front lawn is about 15ft square)

    Ours is a moss lawn.

    Our grassed areas are currently sponges .... we haven't been able to cut them since September, and will need a couple of weeks of dry weather before we can even try.
    On the plus side they are always green ... even in drought conditions.

    So my alternate name would be "boggy marsh".

    Having an interest in castles, how about a Bailey? That would please my OH, who likes her Baileys!!

    Now to design a motte.

    I wrote that quickly at lunchtime before heading out to work in the garden.  The SSSN has now been cut, edges trimmed, now less neglected!
