William Randall's farm, the Miner Meeting House, and Pitts Williams, to Old Mystic, while the other road was from Mill town or North Stonington village to Anguilla and was then in public view to all.

The yard is nearly surrounded by trees and is difficult of approach, even by foot travellers. It is situated north of the old Isaac Miner house and north east of the late Nathan Wheeler house.
