A brickyard{{OED|brickyard|id=78134910 }} or brickfield{{OED|brickfield|id=23178}} is a place or yard where bricks are made, fired, and stored, or sometimes sold or otherwise distributed from. Brick makers work in a brick yard. A brick yard may be constructed near natural sources of clay or on or near a construction site if necessity or design requires the bricks to be made locally.Lovejoy, Ellis.
