- The Lime Kiln Field is a little strip of land behind Mr. Coddington's house. It got this name because lime was burned there a long time ago, even before Sheephouse Quarry was opened.
- Corn Hill is a field which belongs to Mr. Bell and it got this name because long ago it was noted for the corn that was grown on it.
It is situated between Sheephouse Quarry and Oldbridge Quarry.
