publish_down field was created by Rob

Perhaps I have missed it, is there currently a Field Type similar to the "Finish Publishing" on basic Joomla articles?

Just a normal calendar field but you have to code it into your component. Best way is to modify the SQL that delivers the content with a WHERE/AND statement so the result is less than the finishing date.

Joomla Articles (in the front end do it via the content model...

                if ((!$user->authorise('core.edit.state', 'com_content')) && (!$user->authorise('core.edit', 'com_content'))) {
                    // Filter by start and end dates.
                    $nullDate = $db->quote($db->getNullDate());
                    $date = JFactory::getDate();

                    $nowDate = $db->quote($date->toSql());

                    $query->where('(a.publish_up = ' . $nullDate . ' OR a.publish_up <= ' . $nowDate . ')')
                        ->where('(a.publish_down = ' . $nullDate . ' OR a.publish_down >= ' . $nowDate . ')');
                }
