Note
A closed compound takes its plural at the very end, so the -s attaches to the whole word and never to its first part: battlefields, not battlesfield. The field half is not literal either. A battlefield is wherever a land battle was fought, and the place may be no field at all, which is worth remembering when the word turns up for streets or forests.
