on a moonlit heath???
When BriSpA’s Chief of Multi-Platform Safeguarding, Craig, was in the Royal Navy he was generally known as Hammerhead due to his habit of smashing his head against doors, walls and other heads after too much drink. Those days are in Craig’s past, as is the nickname, though he sometimes uses a variation of it when he frequents certain online forums that require a certain level of anonymity. At least until an assignation is organised in a dark nightclub, or sometimes on a moonlit heath, where for the purposes of identification he carries a dog lead though, of course, he owns no dog.

I would like to know what does "on a moonlit heath" here mean. Thanks.

Answer

A "Moonlit heath" is an open land with wild grass or any rough vegetation, basically an unkempt field, so in this case because it's night time and the Moon is presumably out, it would be an uncultivated field lit up by the moonlight. :)
