A brickyard[1] or
brickfield[2] 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.[3][4]

Brickfield and Brickfields became common place names for former brickfields in south east England. The children's building toy called "Brickyard" (stylized as BRICKYaRD) is named after the place.
