OS Field Numbers

The logic for naming fields as I understand it is to take the last to eastings and last 2 northings of an 8 figure grid referance for the centre of the field. Not long after we got our current farm a few fields we renamed when hedges we removed. Now though only the powers that be can name fields.

What logic they use to work out exactly where the centre of a field is I don't know, very few of our fields resemble regular shapes and when we renamed them it was a case of judging the middle by eye on the maps (about 25" to the mile).
