Its earliest known definite use was in June 1730 for match between the 2nd Duke of Richmond's XI and Sir William Gage's XI.[3] In August 1745, it was used for a match between a Sussex side and a Surrey team, the third in a series of matches between the two sides.[2][5] The ground appears to have remained in use until the 1770s, with references to matches which were scheduled to be played on the hill in 1771 and 1774.[6]
